An Cat Dubh Lyrics

Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will

Yes, if I know the truth about you

And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild

Yes, If I know the truth about you

An Cat Dubh Song Chart

"An Cat Dubh" is Gaelic for "The Black Cat." English is the common language in Ireland, but schoolchildren are also required to learn Gaelic. Bono failed it in high school.

Bono: "It's definitely about sex."

This is segued together with "Into The Heart" on Boy. They were always played together when performed live.

This is about a woman Bono had an affair with after a falling-out with his girlfriend, Ali. He married Ali in 1982.
