Jericho Lyrics

Winter comes proud to a dying man

Pale blue smoke rising into the day

It's been a long time coming and his grip is loose

You can see him shudder like an old grey goose

My my those trees are getting thin

This old world is starting over again

And, Oh lord wish I could go

Over the horizon, out to Jericho

He taught me how to work

This world with my hands

Showed me, if I listen, I might understand

I grew up while he grew wise

People say we look the same in our eyes

Grandfather sky is filling up with stars

Rubbing out the shadows in this land of scars

Listen to the wind, don't it sound like him

Blowing that old harp while the tears begin

And I said oh lord wish I could know

Whats over the horizon, out in Jericho

And some day I know we'll be

Down in the valley with the brave and free

The river is wide, blue and deep

Ferry man will cross you when you go to sleep

I heard it all in a book I read

It was something about angels

Something about angels singing in my head

Snow is falling now, he's letting go

There's still so much about him that won't ever show

Light me a candle let it burn all night

'Cause I believe he won't go down without a fight

And I said oh lord wish I could go

Over the horizon, out to Jericho

And someday I want to be

Down in the valley with the brave and free

I said oh lord I wish I could go

Over the horizon, out to Jericho

And someday I hope we'll be

Down in the valley

Down in the valley

Down in the valley

Jericho
