rose of jericho (the waltz)

he asked her hand in dance

as they played a waltz

she slipped

he grasped the chance

the fire burned down the wall

and thus became the waltz

and she got dressed to kill

for he asked her out to dine

the waiter sneaked on the thrill

a first kiss tore down the wall

and thus came the waltz

like a rose of jericho watered in the sun

now she goes letting go of her soul

breathin' with new lungs

like a knight he takes the blows

'til the dragon's won

as he fights to free her soul

the kidnapper is outdone

heart on heart lights the spark

what a gem

a finest of men

an eden like romance

snow white came back to life

her sigh

his breath

their dance

o timeless mindless time

o blessed plan

of the great mastermind

like a rose of jericho watered in the sun

now she goes letting go of her soul

breathin' with new lungs

like a knight he takes the blows

'til the dragon's won

as he fights to free her soul

the kidnapper is outdone

heart on heart lights the spark

turn

turn

flow

flow

turn

like a rose of jericho watered in the sun

now she goes letting go of her soul

breathin' with new lungs

like a knight he takes the blow

'til the dragon's won

as he fights to free her soul

the kidnapper is outdone

heart on heart lights the spark
