Liam Titcomb Rose Of Jericho Lyrics

Rose Of Jericho Lyrics

It's been a long walk down this cold dark street

She doesn't remember the faces of the men she meets

She stops by the dumpster, looking for something to eat

Stops by the laundromat, looking for a bit of heat



Oh, rose of Jericho

How many times must you be bought and sold

Oh, rose of Jericho

Maybe it's time for you to come on home, come on home



You know she swears he had the bluest eyes

Before he took her in the middle of the night

She's just an angel, caught in the undertow

She ended up on the dark side of the road



Oh, rose of Jericho

How many times must you be bought and sold

Oh rose of Jericho

Maybe it's time for you to come on home



Only sixteen she's still a girl

She's living on her own in this stone cold world

She's the only thing for sale on this street tonight

You can say what you want, but it's just not right



She's gone as far, as far as she can go

She couldn't help it, she just didn't know

She's someone's baby, she's someone's daughter

Some mother's heart still waits with the water



Oh, rose of Jericho

How many times must you be bought and sold

Oh, rose of Jericho

Maybe it's time for you to come on home



Oh, rose of Jericho

How many times must you be bought and sold

Oh, rose of Jericho

Maybe it's time for you to come home, come home
