Jerusalem Lyrics


(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
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 traces
Lead him on to the house of love where the Gods my turn his eyes
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
You might be the one I'm waiting for, I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feelin' 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
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars
In Jerusalem...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Paul Robeson (April 9, 1898 – January 23, 1976) was a multi-lingual American actor, athlete, bass-baritone concert singer, writer, civil rights activist, Spingarn Medal winner, and Lenin Peace Prize laureate. Robeson found fame as an actor and singer with his fine bass-baritone voice. He is one of the few true basses in American music, his beautiful and powerful voice descending as low as a C below the bass clef. In addition to his stage performances, his renditions of old Negro spirituals were acclaimed; Robeson was the first to bring them to the concert stage.
