Lyrics

JERICHO
Words and Music by Matthias Clark
Key: A

Verse 1:
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 the old grey goose
My my those trees are getting thin
this old world is starting over again

Chorus:
Oh lord wish I could go
Over the horizon, out to Jericho

Oh lord I know one day we’ll be
Down in the valley with the brave and free

Verse 2:
He taught me how to work
This world with my hands
Told 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 it sounds like him
Blowing that old harp while the tears begin

Chorus:
Oh lord wish I could go
Over the horizon, out to Jericho

Some day I know we’ll be
Down in the valley with the brave and free


Bridge:
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
Something 'bout angels singing in my head

Snow is falling now, he's letting go
Theres still so much about him that wont ever show
Light me a candle let it burn all night
I believe he wont go down without a fight

Chorus:
Oh lord wish I could go
Over the horizon, out to Jericho

Oh lord I wish I could be
Down in the valley with the brave and free
