Jerusalem Lyrics

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you were a friend of mine

Jerusalem you were a friend of mine

When I was young I was working the line

When I was young I was working the line

Crusaders flying through the night

Searching for the endless light

The lake is dry you can't wonder why

Strange words coming from the sky

The desert wind blows as misery knows

Burning in the south so far from all the snows

Whiteness of the dove known only from above

Through the icy clouds toward the greatest love

Moon shining down God's gonna frown

His ray of light is blinding my sight

The city lies along the shore

Full ofhistory and endless lore

Black star shining through the night

Never quench the endless fight

I will return to Jerusalem

Your unkind words I will condemn

Letting outan earthly moan

Flesh against flesh bone against bone

Moon shining down God's gonna frown

Wars of the soul to take their toll

So give me your hand and understand

We'll be living in the promised land

The lake bed is dry You can't wonder why

Strange words coming from the sky

Strange words coming from the sky

From the sky

Strange words coming from the sky
