Israel you've left me a mark
And it rest on my forehead like dust on a spark
And I still see clouds in the clearest of nights
But when you settle in your 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
I can't see your pain 'til it weakens your heel
In this city so fake, your'e 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 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
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while
