Rose of Jericho (The Waltz)
He asked her hand in dance
As they played a waltz
She slipped, he grasped the chance
The fire burnt 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, oh 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, 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
