David Crosby - Jerusalem lyrics

Jerusalem

(James Raymond)

[Intro. (Electric Guitar + Harmonica)]

I came back to Jerusalem

Just to see if the light had changed

But it all seems about the same

My friends are here on a holy mission

A mass convergence of Judeo-Christians

It's nice to put the faces with the names

Don't you know me by my ancient eyes

Sweet salvation what a lonely prize

I came back to Jerusalem

I came back to Jerusalem

And it's all coming down right now

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

I ran into Magdalena

She said she's staying for the Y2 Cana

But I see the sadness in her eyes

We all lost the one we loved

He's up there livin' high above us

Fire and love gonna rain on down, down, down

Don't you know me by my well worn shoes

I walked this road beside the King of Jews

I came back to Jerusalem

I came back to Jerusalem

And it's all coming down right now

[Instrumental (Harmonica)]

But I've been waiting for two thousand years

That's a lot of blood

And a lot of tears

[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]

Call me certified delusional

But I got stoned against this very wall

I came back to Jerusalem

I came back to Jerusalem

And it's all coming down right now

I came back to Jerusalem

I came back to Jerusalem

And it's all coming down right now

[Ending (Harmonica)]
