Lori McKenna - Rose Of Jericho [Intro] G [Verse 1] He sits still, legs crossed At the kitchen table, only lost
In his Cgin and tonic and the smell Of afternoon cigarettes
[Verse 2]
She’s Gmastering the way she dances In between sideway glances CWords that would come in vivid colours If she let them slip off of her lips G
[Verse 3] Generations handed down Blame the pain on times they live in
A Cmodern version of his father now Wasting all these chances life will give him
[Verse 4]
But Gin her way she’s done one better Coats are made for winter weather CNeighbour kids play in the street The sun sinks down below the back yard Gtrees Am
[Chorus]
There’s a cross on the Cside of the road ReGflecting itself in Dcar a window Am And where does love Creally go Maybe Gno one knows, no one Dknows But somewhere Emstuck inside It’s too Cproud to die The rose of GJericho
[Verse 5] Falling into old routines That history deems worth repeating
CPrayers that seem to say themselves Self-help books on dusty shelves
[Verse 6]
If Geverything is temporary Why should they care how it shines? The Csimple truth in looks deceiving Are the blessings in disGguise Am
[Chorus]
There’s a picture they Ctook long ago In a Gwhite dress and black tuxDedo Am And where does love Creally go Maybe Gno one knows, maybe no one Dknows But somewhere Emstuck inside It’s too Cproud to die The rose of GJericho D
[Bridge]
The Rose of Jericho sitsC on a shelf GWaiting to be watered by Dsomebody else But it can’t love you withCout a little help 'Cause it Gdon’t know how to love itDself
[Verse 7]
GMoonlight reaches bedroom windows High above the town below CYou can’t always count on rain To water what you need to grow G
