AmOh, the deEmeper I spin
GOh, the hunter will sin for your Divory skin
AmTook a drive in the dirty rain
EmTo a place where the wind calls your name
GUnder the tree, the river laughing at Dyou and me
AmHallelujah, heaven's wEmhite rose, the dFoors you open I just Dcan't close
GDon't turn aroundD  
DoCn't turn around again
GDon't turn around, Dyour gypsy Cheart
GDon't turn aroundD  
DoCn't turn around again
GDon't turn around, Dand don't look Cback
DCome on now loCve
DDon't you loCok back!

GWho's gonna Dride your wild horCses?
GWho's gonna Ddrown in your blue Csea?
GWho's gonna Dtaste your salt water kiCsses?
GWho's gonna Dtake the place of Cme?
GWho's gonna Dride your wild horCses?
GWho's gonna Dtame the heart of Cthee?

The story behind the song

This track from U2's 1991 album Achtung Baby is a "torch song" with a strong melody, though the band found it challenging to perfect and perform. It went through many iterations and mixes, with the album version ultimately staying close to the original demo. The song carries a sense of longing and perhaps a touch of regret, as the band felt they didn't quite "nail" it on the record, even writing a whole new set of lyrics quickly before its release. It plays like an exploration of an untamed spirit, and the question of who can truly understand or guide it.
