Deep In The Heart Lyrics

Angel, everything gonna be alright
Angel, everything gonna work out tonight

Thirteen years old
Sweet as a rose
Every petal of her paper thin
Love will make you blind
Grab you from behind
Got you jumping out of your skin

Angel, sink or swim
Deep in the heart of this place

The door is closed behind you now
Windows sealed to shut out the light
Green is the leaves and the cure of the metal stain
Do your work, it'll work out right

Deep in the heart of this place

The scent of cedar
I can still see her
You can't return to the place you never left

Angel, make it work out tonight
Angel, I won't be home tonight

The door is closed behind you now
Windows sealed, they shut out the light
Green is the leaves and the cure of the metal stain
I'll do my work and it'll work out right

~*Deep in the heart of this place*~

Cover art for Deep In The Heart lyrics by U2

Next to Elvis Presley and America... this is one of my fav u2 songs.. and one of the best 'B' side track on the Joshua Tree single.

The music is so... I can't describe.. its feels very spacious and almost spontaneous. Edges guitar solo also carries that signature 'edge' sound.

Apparently, the song is about Bono remembering a sexual encounter he had in his fathers house when he was a kid.. Bono remembering this as he was walking through the house one last time (it was being sold).

I agree. This is also one of my favorite U2 songs. Bono's voice is so full of emotion and the song feels deep. Bono seems to almost whisper the lines to you as if he were quietly walking you around his father's house. Amazing song.
