Its been a long walk down this cold, dark street
She doesnt remember the faces of the men she meets
She stops by the dumpster looking for something to eat
Stops by the laundromat looking for a bit of heat
Oh, Rose of Jericho
How many times must you be bought and sold
Oh, Rose of Jericho
Maybe its time for you to come on home
Come on home
You know she swears he had the bluest eyes
Before he took her in the middle of the night
Shes just an angel caught in the undertow
She ended up on the dark side of the road
Only 16, shes still a girl
Shes living on her own in this stone cold world
Shes the only thing for sale on this street tonight
You can say what you want but its just not right
We all know its just not right…
Shes gone as far, as far as she can go
She couldnt help it
She just didnt know
Shes someones baby, shes someone daughter
Some mothers heart still waits with the water
Come on home, home , home…
