“‘Drowning Man’ is an Edge backing track and and Adam bass part. It’s some obscure time signature, like 5/8, and it’s me improvising à la Van Morrison, wailing away in the manner of the scriptures. The lyrics were still a struggle. I wasn’t really enjoying writing in a notebook.” – Bono, U2 By U2 20...
Drowning Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
All to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times won't drag you away
[Chorus]
Hold on and hold on tightly
Hold on and don't let go of my love
The storms will pass (The storm will pass), it won't be long now (It won't be long now)
This love will last, this love will last forever
[Verse 3]
And take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear
[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up with wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary (Take my hand)
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
To this love (To this love, this love), lasts forever
Now this love (This love, this love) lasts forever (Take my hand)
[Outro]
Take my hand
