Songtexte Walls of Jericho - The Common Linnets

Marking days of desperation
Heatwaves rising up
Off of the cracked black top
Years pass by like hours I've wasted
Waiting on the sky to change
The devil put a spell on the Mississippi rain

Oh when the walls come down in Jericho
Hey hey, gonna drink from the river of Jordan someday
Oh gonna make it to the promised land I know
When the walls come down in Jericho

I was born with this constant yearning
A hunger I couldn't feed
Like a gipsy tumbleweed
Once I get this motor turning
Ain't no turning back
Come morning God knows where I'll be at

Oh when the walls come down in Jericho
Hey hey, gonna drink from the river of Jordan someday
Oh gonna make it to the promised land I know
When the walls come down in Jericho
When the walls come down in Jericho

When the walls come down in Jericho

The devil put a spell on the Missisipi rain

Oh when the walls come down in Jericho
Hey hey, gonna drink from the river of Jordan someday
Oh gonna make it to the promised land I know
When the walls come down in Jericho
When the walls come down in Jericho

When the walls come down in Jericho
When the walls come down in Jericho
Ooh ooh When the walls come down in Jericho
Ooh ooh When the walls come down in Jericho
