I got a letter from Gallup New Mexico  
with words that make me feel 
as if the world is going to end 
All I know is lately you lost that loving feeling 
and now all my dreams are shattered  

Rose of Jericho nothing’s gonna be and 
nothing’s gonna be the same 
Rose of Jericho  I’ll be dancing white flowers in the rain  

Now I sit here on my own trying to make things 
real through dark memories 
my soul's about to disappear
my mind is going crazy seeing
these hearts broken  

Rose of Jericho your love has gone blind before my eyes 
Rose of Jericho  everything’s gonna be and everything’s gonna be alright 
(but I know) your love has gone blind before my eyes  

I don't need nobody go telling me what to do  
and I don't need no other to get over you  
Rose of Jericho until the day all things are said and done 
Rose of Jericho  I’ll be throwing water to the sun  
To the sun
To the sun...
