Jericho

These days I sleep under an open sky
'Cause I can't seem to sleep in my bed
Back before we split up my wife told me
It's just in your head

A civilian's life used to make sense to me
Then I shipped out an served my two tours
I retired last year
Tried to come back to life as before

But at night I still fly back to Jericho
Where we brought their walls tumblin' down
Buried my friends who have fallen
And Never been found
And God's children I'll save from their enemies
With a horn that he gave me to blow
Finished my days in the only place
I really know, Jericho

When it's sunny I sit in the public park
When it's raining I ride on the train
At this diner they serve me free coffee
They know me by name
And the guys from my unit come talk to me
About the jobs they've been trying to chase
And I tell them how after its dark I return to that place

How at night I can fly back to Jericho
Where we brought their walls tumblin' down
Buried my friends who have fallen
And Never been found
And God's children I'll save from their enemies
With a horn that he gave me to blow
Finished my days in the only place
I really know, Jericho

A garden grows now where that city burned
Children plays with old guns from the war
But the bullets are gone
Now they dont even know what they're for
And my family back home can sleep well at night
Knowing I'll keep them safe everyday
'Till I die and I'm laid to rest under the ruins we made

'Till at night I can fly back to Jericho
On two wings by God's own design
Buried my friends who have fallen
And been left behind
And God's children I'll save from their enemies
With a horn that he gave me to blow
Finished my days in the only place
I really know, Jericho
