Rose Of Jericho
(专辑: Numbered Doors - 2014)
He sits still legs crossed at the
kitchen table only lost In his gin and tonic and the
smell of afternoon cigarettes She's mastering the
way she dances in between sideway glances Words that would come in vivid colors if she let them slip off her lips Generations handed down, blame the
pain on times they live in A
modern version of his father now wasting all the
chances life will give him But in her way she's done one better, coats are made for winter weather Neighbor kids play in the
street, the
sun sinks down below the
back yard trees There's a
cross on the
side of the
road reflecting itself in a
car window Where does love really go, maybe no one knows, no one knows But somewhere stuck inside it's too proud to die, the
Rose of Jericho Falling into old routines that history deems worth repeating Prayers that seem to say themselves, self help books on dusty shelves If everything is temporary why should they care how it shines The
simple truth in looks deceiving are the
blessing in disguise There's a
picture they took long ago in a
white dress, black tuxedo Where does love really go, maybe no one knows, maybe no one knows But somewhere stuck inside it's too proud to die, the
Rose of Jericho The
Rose of Jericho sits on a
shelf waiting to be watered by somebody else But it can't love you without a
little help 'cause it don't know how to love itself Moonlight reaches bedroom windows high above the
town below You can't always count on rain to water what you need to grow
