With Or Without You by U2 has been haunting me!! One night, I was having a really nice, peaceful dream where I was standing in front of this really huge stain glass window with a certain someone, smiling up at him, and we were both surrounded by this amazingly bright, warm light. He told me it was time to go but I didn't want to. . .I rebeled a bit, but he kept insisting: "No. It's time to go now. You have to go." I still didn't want to, but the sleeper-me/voice in the ether chimed in with the insistance too. "Wake up now. You've got to wake up. Wake up." So, I finally pulled myself out of the deep sleep and what do I hear on the radio?
And this one goes out to Aurora. . .U2's With Or Without You.
It was exactly 4 a.m. and I'm sure there's probably other girls in the Jax area named that but. . .I like to think it was meant for me. Why else would I wake up at that strange hour after being prodded by the someone?
About a week later, I woke up from a deep sleep again, flipped on the radio and it was on. I'm pretty sure it means something. . .but what?
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait. . .without you
With or without you With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you
With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win And nothing to lose
With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you.
