Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Jericho lyrics

rate me

You are a dreamer of dreams walking a lonely shore

Dream if you will but remember there are iron laws

However much you seek to solve this mystery

No one ignores the iron vice of history

All those gone before dreamed to escape

They tried to fly over the palisades

Chorus:

Standing at the gates

This is Jericho

And the walls reach up to the stars

And outside we were singing psalms

Such a strange, strange place

For we are the prisoners

Of the prisoners we have taken

And the prophets' dreams are now forsaken

Sing me the songs of a world that I once knew

Recall the legends once so proud and true

My people used to live here not so long ago

But they fled into the night and I was left alone

I guard these walls for you and me

Dream on, sail on my memory

Chorus
