Lyrics
Jerusalem
I keep dreaming that I’m in Jerusalem
And I’m trying to understand it
I keep dreaming that I’m in Jerusalem
Again
Where ev’ry color that I’ve ever dreamed I’d ever seen
Has been reduced to black or white
The pomegranate’s red and the olive’s tired green
Fade into a sleepless night
Where I keep dreaming that I’m in Jerusalem
Trying to make you understand it
I keep dreaming that I’m in Jerusalem
Again
Where all the words and
All the colors have two meanings
One for you and one for me
And all the messages which you and
I are constantly receiving
Make us blind to all that we might see
Pomegranate’s red
Wine; bloodshed
Olive green
Drab, pressed; folded
White-light
And the color that covers an old woman’s head
Black-night
For the fact that the God of love is dead
I keep dreaming that I’m in Jerusalem
And I’m trying to change your mind
And I’m running out of time
