"Love Rescue Me" video

 

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up
And don't let me fall.
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me.
Love rescue me.

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me.
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal.
Love, rescue me.

And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea.
I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said, love, rescue me.

In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of what I used to be.
I see the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies.
Love, rescue me.

Yeah, though I walk
In the valley of the shadow
Yet, I will fear no evil.
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me.
Love, rescue me.

Sha la la la etc.
I said love, love, rescue me.

Yeah, I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love, rescue me.

I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance to a new world I can see.
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me.
Love, rescue me.

Composed by U2 / Bono

About "Love Rescue Me"

From the original U2 Album "Rattle And Hum" (10 October 1988)

"Love Rescue Me" is a collaboration between the band and Bob Dylan, who also provides vocals to the recording. It was first performed live on 16 October 1988; this was the source of the "Angel of Harlem" B-side.

Its next live appearance was at the first concert of the Lovetown Tour on 21 September 1989 in Perth. It was played at 46 of the tour's 47 shows and closed four of them. It was performed as a duet during an encore with B.B. King and his band, and its omission on 18 December 1989 was due to that encore being cancelled and the show ending prematurely due to Bono suffering vocal problems. Its last performance took place at the final Lovetown concert, on 10 January 1990 in Rotterdam.

After the Lovetown Tour, "Love Rescue Me" has only appeared live once, as a lyrical snippet. On the fourth leg of the Vertigo Tour, Bono sung part of it at the end of "All I Want Is You", the final song of the 21 February 2006 concert in São Paulo. [From Wikipedia]
