Jericho Rose
Born without her daddy's name
He was long long gone
The midwife called her Rose cos she liked that
Bette Midler song
Her mamma struggled from the start
With this life she hadn't planned
Said it sometimes crossed her mind
God must be a man
Sometimes her mamma forgot to pcik her up
When school was done
Walking home alone she'd look up to the sky
Taste the rain on her tongue
Found her mamma sleeping on the floor
The empty bottles caught the light
She would curl up 'neath the blanket in the dark
With no kiss good night
Jericho Rose we all need rain we all need sun
Jericho Rose no need to become
A tumbleweed... Jericho Rose
Marking time till she could walk away
And leave it all behind
A Rose of Jericho just needs
A little kindness to survive
Barely seventeen she walked out the door
Threw her key into the trash
Caught a train to the end of the line
Never looking back
Jericho Rose we all need rain we all need sun
Jericho Rose no need to become
A tumbleweed... Jericho Rose
He was long long gone
The midwife called her Rose cos she liked that
Bette Midler song
Her mamma struggled from the start
With this life she hadn't planned
Said it sometimes crossed her mind
God must be a man
Sometimes her mamma forgot to pcik her up
When school was done
Walking home alone she'd look up to the sky
Taste the rain on her tongue
Found her mamma sleeping on the floor
The empty bottles caught the light
She would curl up 'neath the blanket in the dark
With no kiss good night
Jericho Rose we all need rain we all need sun
Jericho Rose no need to become
A tumbleweed... Jericho Rose
Marking time till she could walk away
And leave it all behind
A Rose of Jericho just needs
A little kindness to survive
Barely seventeen she walked out the door
Threw her key into the trash
Caught a train to the end of the line
Never looking back
Jericho Rose we all need rain we all need sun
Jericho Rose no need to become
A tumbleweed... Jericho Rose
