Once in a While

Israel, you've left me a mark
 and it rests on my forehead
 like dust on a spark
 An' I still see clouds in the clearest of nights
 but when you settle in,
 you're the truest of northern lights
 Jerusalem,
 I miss you now
 I miss you now
 and the way we danced,
 so lost in the crowd
 So take my hand,
 or let my heart go
 I'm not gonna leave you like lovers before
 Don't you remember
 what I said that night
 I can't stand to be with you
 once in a while
 "Take me down to the medic" you ask
 And carry me close for to weave through the stacks
 An' I can't see pain
 til it weakens your heel
 In this city so fake,
 you're the sapphire so delicately real.
 Jerusalem,
 I miss you now
 I miss you now
 And the way we danced,
 so lost in the crowd...
 So take my hand
 and let my heart go
 I'm not gonna leave you like lovers before
 Don't you remember what I said that night
 I can't stand to be with you once in a while
 Once in a while
 Once in a while
 once in a while...
 (repeat)
