Jericho

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
