Purple Heart by T Bone Burnett Lyrics

Through the fields of flame i ran with you
Every blow you took i took with you
I lied for you when you moved underground
And covered you as the storm of rage came down
But i will not wear you like a purple heart
To the raging moon burning in the sun
I held on to you you held on to no one
I followed you 'til you were out of sight
And felt the pain as the bullets took the night
But i will not wear you like a purple heart
[t bone burnett / bono]
