U2 - Love Comes Tumbling Lyrics

East Side.... by the bridge... whiteout conditions from the blizzard; but hardly noticed by the man with white spikes hair as he playfully ducks the snowballs thrown his way by the laughing, dark haired woman. They run, half stumbles as he gives chase, her laughter, the crunching footfalls the only sound made. Then he catches her as they both fall together in the huge snowdrift, both roaring in laughter this time, but as they, both covered in snow, look at each other, they suddenly become as silent as the rest of the city....

Adored the younger U2. Loved the entire band and absorbed their sound.... This song was one of my favorites.

Wow Larry and his band. Always a pleasure . I have been catching them live since 1982. Sweet sweet sounds

This is more than a side. beautiful sounds

I'm not a great U2 fan but I do like this tune.

Such a beautiful track of U2

Yeahhhhh. After a long day on the roof... blasting this with a cold drink....big spliff...mesmeric

Something about the sound of this makes me think of pale winter sun and wistful reflections on what could have been.

In my opinion this is the best of the best u2 songs and the other is the unforgetable fire

From the Summer of 1985. It was a great time to be young.

de las mejores 5 canciones de la historia de u2

October 2019 listening...

Nah, listening in November 😁😁😁😁

I am a HUGE fan of U2's b-sides!! I've been enjoying them for many years. In my personal opinion, Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton are in the Top 5 of all time when it comes to a rhythm section or bass player and drummer combination of a rock n' roll band. I think they are way underrated or overlooked with their individual talents as well. These guys are rock solid and U2 is still one of my favorite bands of all time. I've been hooked ever since Joshua Tree came out...

AMEN JAYSON. FUCK THE DUMB SHIT. LARRY MULLEN STARTED THIS BAND. TO HELL WITH BONOS POLITICAL BULLSHIT

I only knew the song today!

One of the most Amazing U2 songs!

Umas das melhores músicas do U2.

O primeiro crush a gente nunca esquece

Maravillosa siempre!!!
Nunca me cansaré de escuchar ésta canción...💖

Acertada. Lindo para días Domingo como hoy...te llenas de nostalgia....

💜💜💜💜💜💜aaaaawwwww! Es la rolaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My favorite song

All roads lead to were you are...

Their best song.

amo this sog

Amo essa música, amo U2💞💞

It's a bit Fleetwood Macy now that I think about it.

What fabulous drumming superb sound and not over played larry mullen is a master of his chosen art.

This song is as great as 'where the streets have no name' 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for' 'Bad' '11 o clock tick' etc... I can name many more but you get the point

Love it. Adams bass line and edges haunting guitar.

was this video up loaded by a woman? why only pictures of the drummer lol, good song thougt.👍

ACT ACCORDINGLY MOMO. LARRY STARTED THIS BAND. HE'S FROM THE SCHOOL OF COOL.

Larry forgets he cant stay, The Trinity comes tumbling down instead www.equip.org

LARRY MULLEN STARTED THIS BAND AND HE'S A CLASS ACT. FUCK BONO AND HIS POLTICAL VIEWS

I love it =)

This has chanting hypnotic almost shamanic celtic quality makes this a fantastic track to meditate too Which U2s early works is synonymously rich with: October War and Unforgettable fire then they got commercial....

All roads lead to where you are

Larry comes tumbling so strong so much.

Sounds just like the EP. One of my favs by U2.

Love Comes Tumbling, Stay Faraway, So Close, Lemon, Satellite of Love, Salome, early albums... I appreciate those more than their huge stadium/activist hits. I like B-sides and B-movies!

Love come's Tumbling Down . . . . one of the best songs that U2 ever came up with!

This beautiful song always left me breathless. It also reminds me of a time in my life that I'd like to reclaim and honor. It seemed nightmarish at that juncture, but now it would be considered bliss because it raises my dearly departed sister like Lazarus and brings her back to me. We both loved U2, and especially this song, with an unquenchable passion. God, I still love and miss her so deeply. The first time we saw U2 in April 1985 was nothing short of a spiritual epiphany; it was a night I will always remember with bittersweet affinity. They changed my life. Thank you, Dublin denizens. I wish I could relive that wondrous experience with all of you...and my sister by my side.

Really sorry for your loss. U2 has been the sound track to some of my life and and is still partly a way of life for me. There is an out of world element about some of their music.

sou doente por essa banda.....Bono ....minha vida...

Juarez...El Alive...1992

Larry is lækker !

My favorite song by U2 (and I'm very thorough with their discog) and one of the best 'atmospheric' songs ever made. It'd have been totally perfect on The Unforgettable Fire.

Stupenda , non sbagliano mai sono e saranno sempre unici è favolosi , le canzoni degli U2 sono la colonna sonora della mia vita , UNICI !

jaka fantasyczna piosenka to juz tyle lat...

Nohing better than U2 B sides.

As a non native English speaker

Is this song about genuine love (mutual love) or love that is not reciprocated?

Maybe it is elusive and this question is left unanswered...

U2 mastepiece !!!

ha, somebody really likes Larry!

Would have fitted on the Unforgettable Fire

don't know why they left it off UF

Like for the sexy larry pics!

Remember listening to cassette of Wide Awake in America in 1987 during a very very cold January up a Welsh mountain along with with Bad, A Sort of Homecoming and Three Sunrises. All strong and dim memories.

Pure magic...

Larry Mullen!

I really love B-side very much

Just discovered this song... so great..this definitely goes on my favorite U2 songs list!

A "B" side song?  Why?  Love this.

Karen Krueger I don’t understand

My favorite U2 song!

U2 fans and casual listeners who do not know of this quiet gem . . . Don't know what beauty they are missing.

AMEN AGNES. LARRY MULLEN STARTED THIS BAND. FUCK BONO AND HIS POLTICAL VIEWS

The more I listen, the more the other comments about the bass part here are spot on.

The bass here IS absolutely brilliant. He is up there in Pete Entwistle territory on this one. At once, varying, smooth, seamless, spacious with occasional sharp plucks and higher notes.

great !!1

this song was one and only track played on my first date with my today's husband. played over and over again that night on 31st December 1999, played again on our wedding in 2015 and now, while we're laying down with our daughter in 2017. We are 34 if you wonder. high school love, thanks to U2.


maybe bit cheese, but U2 will always be there for us

xx

TJT B-sides and the Wide Awake in America new songs make an excellent in between piece between UF and TJT....some of my favorite atmospheric work of the lads....thanks for posting

The Edge dials it back and softens it wonderfully here to give it a chime-like effect and the bassist responds with pulsating, muscular accents.

Amazing song. Makes me dreamy, feeling nostalgic...

Is the 3rd version on the Australian single ir Austrian? Do you have the catalog number on the back of the CD you can provide? Thanks

I LIVE TO DA MAXXX!!! TANX KITTY!!!

U2 made great headway taking advantage of the Eno and Lanois partnership. Even now 33 years later those sessions of the "The Unforgettable Fire" sounds unique and massively fabulous.

i love u2's 80s b-sides.

lovely song, and a lovely drummer boy

just scattershooting, not compromising the 52 week challenge

Always a personal U2 fav of mine though not many people heard of it unfortunately!

you can not compare greatness

One of their very best. IMO

First time I heard this was on an EP tape my sophomore year of high school. Remains my favorite U2 song to this day.

All that b-sides are so great.

04:19 ..the guitar at the end when the volume goes down was supposed to last 10 min...absolutely class!

wolly1979 yes!

This should have been on the album instead of the crappy Elvis Presley and America. It was recorded for The Unforgettable Fire album. Dumb asses!

blame brian eno, tony visconti and daniel lanois and paul mcguiness

Agreed, I will go further and say "The three sunrises" should have been on the Album instead of "MLK" or "4th of "July"...

bono was probably worrid the lyrics were too egotistical and people would misinterpret them in a bad way

Shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky

It's no secret that the stars
Are falling from the sky
It's no secret that I left you
And still I don't know why

You say the sun is sometimes
Eclipsed by a moon
You know I'd come back, baby
If you gave me some room

It's no secret that a friend
Is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar
Won't believe anyone else

They say a secret is something
You tell one other person
What do you think
Child

Love, shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky

A man will beg, a man will crawl
But it's never too late
To take his call
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
And everyone needs music 'cause everyone needs relief

Love, live like a shining star
She calls, the sun will burn

A man will rise, a man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

Love, you shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky, tonight

Love, you shine like a burning star
You're falling from the sky

A man will rise, a man will fall
Tonight, from the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause one man told a lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange

Love, shine like a fading sky
She holds one love, the sky

they say the sun sometimes gets eclipsed by the moon i dont see the trinity when she walks in the room www.equip.org

awesome one from wide awake, thx Kit,nice

U2 before they got too full of themselves. Nowadays they do tax-dodging by having their office in the Netherlands!

So they pay tax in Holland now, How is that tax dodging.....

Someone's in love with Larry? :]]

who isn't?
(bono)

this one is one of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite bands. Makes me want to get up and travel somewhere with its dreamy kind of sound.

AMEN 123. LARRY MULLEN STARTED THIS BAND. FUCK BONO AND HIS POLTICAL VIEWS

A melhor banda do mundo!!!

I saw a spooky video for this song many years ago....near the end of the song, Bono is rowing a small boat across a still, misty lake. The he reaches over the side to something floating in the water, and pulls up a white bridal veil. As the song fades away, and the camera pulls back to show his boat is surrounded by dozens of veils floating in the water around him, as if many brides had drowned there. Does anyone else remember this ?

Great song and great pictures of Larry

Great Bass!

+finnishline 123 And Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways, Do You Feel Loved and Please

thanks!

And WIRE

That whole Unforgettable Fire album has some of his best playing in my opinion, and tone as well.

Alexanders Gardencare sure

Should have went on The Unforgettable Fire album!

Yea, it could easily have replaced that "Elvis P and america" :)

reminds me of when I was a total stoner/loner in the mid 80s...just me, my herb and my walkman.

Love this song!  If the world would stop to listen to this, we'd be a better off place.

AMEN MIKE. LARRY MULLEN IS MY FAVORITE. FUCK BONO AND HIS POLTICAL VIEWS

Linda musica e inesquecivel tbm,dedico aos meus filhos!!!

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me

I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

+Dimitris Nikolakopoulos
Thanks for posting the lyrics
Useful

OMG, this is amazing. A hidden gem!

Hola sofi cara,que buen gusto 😉

have this original CD... best
Mournful hopeful  truthful...

The Unforgettable Fire single had incredible B Sides!!!

Still my favorite U2 song.....after all these years!

This one, Drowning Man and Bad.  Amazing stuff.

LARRY MULLEN IS THE GREATEST DRUMMER. HE CREATED U2. FUCK BONO AND HIS POLTICAL VIEWS

This song reminds me of one thing. Landing in Scottsdale, AZ by myself for a business conference. Grabbing my bags and heading for a taxi...that taxi ride from the airport to the hotel.  Driving through the desert at 5pm, sun slightly going down but still blazing in your eyes causing that unique Southwest desert red sky. Sitting in the back passenger seat, open hand on the jaw just staring out that window into nothing and everything all at the same time.  Thinking about the past and present, thinking about what it must have been like recording this in the studio, all the desert plains U2 have seen in their lives, all the ones I might see in mine.  My family, what they are doing back home.  By what magic did I land at this exact time to see our beautiful sun setting?  A million and one other things...this is the best U2 song of all time, I will never ever tire of listening to it.  Talk about being transported to somewhere else!

+Daniel Schnee
?? Dry your eyes If the young farmer was the real deal boost back to Japan and sort her out

good advice...except that was 20 years ago and she got married and has two teenage kids, and I moved on long ago. Still can reminisce about lost "love."

Trust me... this old broken heart healed long ago! :)

I agree with your vision of this hauntingly beautiful song. What is it with U2 and this period of their music and the desert? It is magical and mystifying. I hear this song and am transported to the desert and all the themes Maideneer speaks of are awash in my head and heart...

Maideneer this one of my favorite of every one song. .

.....music should transport you to another place-U2 have taken me ALL over the galaxy!

Amen Brother!!
