Until the End of the World -- U2



Haven't seen you FOR quite a while  I was down the HOLE just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room  We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine  Everybody having a good time
Except you  You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money  I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes  You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart  I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You   You were acting like it was the end of the world

Love...love...love...love...love...love  Love...love...love...love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows  But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me  Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy  I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.                        (sing365)

The song's lyrics describe a fictional conversation between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. The first verse discusses the second is about Judas identifying Jesus with a kiss on the cheek in the Garden of Gethsemane; and the final is about Judas' suicide after being overwhelmed with guilt and sadness.                                                                   (wikipedia)  



         Garden of Gethsemane   

Gethsemane is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem most famous as the place where, according to the gospels, Jesus and his disciples are said to have prayed the night before Jesus' crucifixion.                 (wikipedia)
