Jerusalem Lyrics - David Crosby

Jerusalem 

(James Raymond) 

[Intro. (Electric Guitar + Harmonica)] 

I came back to Jerusalem 

Just to see if the light had changed 

But it all seems about the same 

My friends are here on a holy mission 

A mass convergence of Judeo-Christians 

It's nice to put the faces with the names 

Don't you know me by my ancient eyes 

Sweet salvation what a lonely prize 

I came back to Jerusalem 

I came back to Jerusalem 

And it's all coming down right now

[Instrumental (Harmonica)] 

I ran into Magdalena 

She said she's staying for the Y2 Cana 

But I see the sadness in her eyes 

We all lost the one we loved 

He's up there livin' high above us 

Fire and love gonna rain on down, down, down 

Don't you know me by my well worn shoes 

I walked this road beside the King of Jews 

I came back to Jerusalem 

I came back to Jerusalem 

And it's all coming down right now 

[Instrumental (Harmonica)] 

But I've been waiting for two thousand years 

That's a lot of blood 

And a lot of tears 

[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]

Call me certified delusional 

But I got stoned against this very wall 

I came back to Jerusalem 

I came back to Jerusalem 

And it's all coming down right now 

I came back to Jerusalem 

I came back to Jerusalem 

And it's all coming down right now 

[Ending (Harmonica)]
