Jericho

These days I sleep under an open sky
 'Cause I can't seem to sleep in my bed
 Back before we split up my wife told me
 It's just in your head
 A civilian's life used to make sense to me
 Then I shipped out an served my two tours
 I retired last year
 Tried to come back to life as before
 But at night I still fly back to Jericho
 Where we brought their walls tumblin' down
 Buried my friends who have fallen
 And Never been found
 And God's children I'll save from their enemies
 With a horn that he gave me to blow
 Finished my days in the only place
 I really know, Jericho
 When it's sunny I sit in the public park
 When it's raining I ride on the train
 At this diner they serve me free coffee
 They know me by name
 And the guys from my unit come talk to me
 About the jobs they've been trying to chase
 And I tell them how after its dark I return to that place
 How at night I can fly back to Jericho
 Where we brought their walls tumblin' down
 Buried my friends who have fallen
 And Never been found
 And God's children I'll save from their enemies
 With a horn that he gave me to blow
 Finished my days in the only place
 I really know, Jericho
 A garden grows now where that city burned
 Children plays with old guns from the war
 But the bullets are gone
 Now they dont even know what they're for
 And my family back home can sleep well at night
 Knowing I'll keep them safe everyday
 'Till I die and I'm laid to rest under the ruins we made
 'Till at night I can fly back to Jericho
 On two wings by God's own design
 Buried my friends who have fallen
 And been left behind
 And God's children I'll save from their enemies
 With a horn that he gave me to blow
 Finished my days in the only place
 I really know, Jericho
