Lyrics
Snowing In Jerusalem
There's a ghost out in the kitchen Footsteps in the hall Take a breath and you can almost taste The smoke and alcohol These closets are all filled with bones Locked behind those doors Some things are better left alone Sometimes less is more You can hide out in the cornfield You can hide out in those woods You can run from then to now, boy But it won’t do no good There’s things you carry with you Things you throw away Things that you keep buried And a price you have to pay He’s been sitting at that table Since long before sunset One light in the darkness A half smoked cigarette His face is just a shadow now And nothing’s really clear Outside the night is hard and bright But a storm is in the air You can hide out in the cornfield You can hide out in those woods You can run from then to now, boy But it won’t do no good There’s things you carry with you Things you throw away Things that you keep buried And a price you have to pay It’s snowing in Jerusalem It’s raining in Teheran The lights are out in Baghdad It’s quiet in Amman In Riyadh they play solitaire With a loaded deck of cards And there’s a hole in New York City To remind us who we are To remind us who we are You can hide out in the cornfield You can hide out in those woods You can run from then to now, boy But it won’t do no good There’s things you carry with you Things you throw away Things that you keep buried And a price you have to pay
