Rough Night in Jericho Songtext
von Dreams So Real

Hey, hey little boy
Come blow your horn
The bed is made but the sheets are torn
These are the times that try to
Try my soul

One, two, three
Four little girls with foreign names
From Palestine to Portland, Maine
Are lined up by the poolside portico

Can you hear my heartbeat?
Over the walls falling
Walls falling on me?
Listen to my heartbeat

Let the cold wind blow
Rough night in Jericho
Let the walls fall in
Guess I′ll be saved by love again
Rough night in Jericho


I stood atop the ancient crumbling wall
And strained to hear the trumpet call
I leaned a bit too far and lost my hold

I fell into the warm forgiving sand
Barely missed the saving hand
And I was crushed beneath the falling wall

Can you hear my heartbeat?
Over the walls falling
Walls falling on me?
Listen to my heartbeat

Let the cold wind blow
Rough night in Jericho
Let the walls fall in
Guess I'll be saved by love again
Rough night in Jericho

Even though the walls are falling
I swear I hear the calling now

{bridge}


Hey, boy blue
Come blow your horn
The bed is made but the sheets are torn
These are the times that try to
Try my soul

One, two, three
Four little girls with foreign names
From Palestine to Portland, Maine
Are lined up by the poolside portico

Let the cold wind blow
Rough night in Jericho
Let the walls fall in
Guess I′ll be saved by love again
Rough night in Jericho
Rough night in Jericho
Rough night in Jericho
Rough night in Jericho
