"I would find you wings to fly, and I would catch you, I would catch your fall"

With the release of a new album people are talking about INXS, one of my favorite bands. I just heard Never Tear us Apart and I had forgotten how sweet that song is.
It reminds me of Grade 10 and when I pulled KICK out to listen to it, I never thought I would still know all the words.

Bono contributed vocals to a Michael Hutchence solo album, on the track "Slide Away". The album was incomplete at the time of Hutchence's death, and Bono was approached to finish the song by composing additional lyrics and contributing vocals. Slide Away is one of my all time favorite songs:

Slide Away
Are you gonna wake again?
Are you gonna take it down?
Oh babe, I don't wanna deal it
Oh, make it alright
Gimme some, my love
Away, away, away

I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I will see that love again, and find a life again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again

I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let it go
I wanted to let it go

Just couldn't let you go
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you as you fall
(Just couldn't let it go)
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you if I heard your call
But you tore a hole in space
Like a dark star, falls from grace
You burn across the sky
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall

I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I will see that love again, and find a life again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
