Jerusalem Lyrics by Alphaville

First Harvest 1984-92 [digital version]

1986

[Verse 1]
Waiting on this empty street
Watching the river's waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette
Silver moon floats through the night
Eris, Princess of the Isles
Disperse your sparkling trace
Lead him on to the house of love
Where the God may turn his eyes

[Chorus]
To Jerusalem, we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Let's make love in Jerusalem
Let me know

[Verse 2]
You might be the one I'm waiting for
I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feeling blue
This situation needs a cure
New assassins, new messiahs
Keepers of the balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire
Which ignites the Halo of our souls

[Chorus]
Oh, Jerusalem, we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Let's take love
To Jerusalem, we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Oh, Jerusalem

[Bridge]
Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home (Carry me back home)
On glory roads of pure delight
We head out for the stars

[Chorus]
To Jerusalem, we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Reign our love
