Jerusalem Stone

Verse 1] I woke up on Jaffa Road With dust on my shoes The stone walls caught the sunrise And turned it gold for you Spices cut the morning air From a cart by the gate I heard a thousand footsteps Like they knew their way [Pre-Chorus] And I felt small Then I felt home In the crowded hum Of the old old road [Chorus] Jerusalem stone, hold me close Jerusalem stone, I won’t let go (hold me close) Under that sky, I come alive Jerusalem stone, you know my name Jerusalem stone, call me back [Verse 2] At the market by the fruit stand Lemons piled high A child ran through the doorway With a laugh in his eyes I touched the wall with my palm Cold rough and worn Like every prayer was waiting For a face at dawn [Pre-Chorus] And I felt small Then I felt home In the crowded hum Of the old old road [Chorus] Jerusalem stone, hold me close Jerusalem stone, I won’t let go (hold me close) Under that sky, I come alive Jerusalem stone, you know my name Jerusalem stone, call me back [Bridge] If I leave tonight Take the echo too The bells and the market cry Will follow through I’ll carry one white olive leaf In the seam of my coat Till the road turns back again And I find that note [Chorus] Jerusalem stone, hold me close Jerusalem stone, I won’t let go (hold me close) Under that sky, I come alive Jerusalem stone, you know my name Jerusalem stone, call me back [Outro] Jerusalem stone Jerusalem stone (call me back)
