He's there in the dark Back of the room Sipping on whiskey And licking his wound
The laundry's out The gang's all here It burns just a little When the ballroom cheers
Well it's not his song The story's all wrong He's got a metronome heart Taking life with time off
A year in chains Fistful of pounds He quietly cusses That he can't stand the sound
Well he's gone well he's gone Well he's gone Where the scars won't show He's gone Where the flowers won't grow He's gone Where the boat won't row I said he's gone to Jericho I said he's gone to Jericho I said he's gone to Jericho
Good time tammy Go and whisper downwind I'll play forgetful And you can face the sins
Sitting in the dark Drinking overpriced wine He ain't exactly pink He don't exactly mind
The wine kept comin' The sun's almost up The silence pumps away When the dog throw up
Some things are better Kept close to the vest Give what you will And just bury the rest
She's gone She's gone She's gone Where the scars won't show She's gone Where the flowers won't grow She's gone Where the boat won't row I said she's gone to Jericho I said she's gone to Jericho I said she's gone to Jericho
I met him in St. Patrick's Asleep in a pew He left Cincinnati Where the blue is cool
There's a cop down there Can't walk anymore If you ask little lady Say you're now in the war
And poor saint Lynn In a pub downtown She was spilling cheap tequila On a wedding gown
Somebody asked How'd you end up like this? She just raised up a glass And blew us all a kiss
She's gone She's gone She's gone Where the scars won't show She's gone Where the flowers won't grow She's gone Where the boat won't row I said she's gone to Jericho I said she's gone to Jericho She's gone to Jericho
Well I paid for my breakfast With pocket change Saw dear Jesus In this coffee stain
No you can't go home When everything's changed I held up my cup And asked for more of the same
I got a ten dollar suit A restroom shave I gotta get moving While I've some soul left to save
Gonna go somewhere Where I'll carry no blame I won't have no baggage And I won't need no name
I'll be gone I'll be gone I'm gone Where the scars won't show I'm gone Where the flowers won't grow I'm gone Where the boat won't row I said I'm gone to Jericho I said I'm gone to Jericho I said I'm gone to Jericho I said I'm gone to Jericho I said I'm gone to Jericho I said I'm gone to Jericho
