Michael Patrick Kelly - Rose of Jericho (The Waltz) lyrics

He asked her hand in dance As they played a waltz She slipped, he grasped the chance The fire burned down the wall And thus came the waltz And she got dressed to k** 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, o 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 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
