"The Unforgettable Fire" is the fourth track on U2's 1984 album of the same name and was released as the album's second single. The song was inspired by an art exhibition of the same name by victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The song became the band's third Top 10 hit in the UK, reaching #6 on the UK Singles Chart and #8 on the Dutch singles chart, but it was yet to break them into the U.S. The track's string arrangement was by Irish jazz musician Noel Kelehan.
Lyrics
Ice Your only rivers run cold These city lights They shine as silver and gold Dug from the night Your eyes as black as coal Walk on by Walk on through Walk 'til you run And don't look back For here I am
Carnival The wheels fly and the colors spin Through alcohol, Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face In a dry and waterless place
Walk on by Walk on through So sad to beseige your love so head on Stay in this time Stay tonight in a lie I'm only asking but I I think you know Come on take me away Come on take me away Come on take me home Home again
And if the mountain should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear, no not I Stay in this time Stay tonight in a lie Ever after This love in time And if you save your love Save it all
Don't push me too far Don't push me too far Tonight Tonight
