U2 Lyrics - Van Diemen's Land

Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away

Now kings will rule and th poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land




first time played live: 1989-10-09: National Tennis Centre, Melbourne, Victoria
last time played live: 2008-12-07: O2 Arena, Dublin, Ireland

This song has been played at least 39 times live (either as full song or snippet).
