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
