Rose Of Jericho Lyrics - Liam Titcomb - Liam Titcomb

It's been a long walk down this cold dark street 

She doesn't remember the faces of the men she meets 

She stops by the dumpster, looking for something to eat 

Stops by the laundromat, looking for a bit of heat 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

How many times must you be bought and sold 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

Maybe it's time for you to come on home, come on home 

You know she swears he had the bluest eyes 

Before he took her in the middle of the night 

She's just an angel, caught in the undertow 

She ended up on the dark side of the road 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

How many times must you be bought and sold 

Oh rose of Jericho 

Maybe it's time for you to come on home 

Only sixteen she's still a girl 

She's living on her own in this stone cold world 

She's the only thing for sale on this street tonight 

You can say what you want, but it's just not right 

She's gone as far, as far as she can go 

She couldn't help it, she just didn't know 

She's someone's baby, she's someone's daughter 

Some mother's heart still waits with the water 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

How many times must you be bought and sold 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

Maybe it's time for you to come on home 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

How many times must you be bought and sold 

Oh, rose of Jericho 

Maybe its time for you to come home, come home
