The haunting and effective closing song of Rattle and Hum came to Bono during some alone time he and Edge had stolen for themselves after the Joshua Tree tour had finished. “It became a meditation on commitment and what that means,” he said at the time. “It takes a huge generosity of spirit to be around somebody who’s in the position I’m in and who can expose you. If you’re a private person, as Ali (Bono’s wife) is, that’s something you have to be careful about. That’s why I often write about other people’s experiences as well as my own. It’s a song about commitment, really. About marriage. I think that’s why a lot of people’s fall apart, because they’re not prepared for what it is. Once that make that commitment of marriage, they think that’s the end of it and they can rest. Some want to run, get to the airport and fly away from it, other’s could never be away from it.”

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you’ll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you’ll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You…all I want is…
You…all I want is…
You…all I want is…
You…
