Emmylou Harris
Jerusalem Tomorrow

(David Olney)

Man you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night.

Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tell a lie
Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I'd touch him and I make him walk again.

Then I'd pull some magic trick
I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live.

Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk
I make a dumb guy talk.

I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
But everyone just turns and walks away
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine.

This old man comes up to me he says I seen you on the street
You're pretty good if I do say so myself
But the guy comes through here last month
He was somethin' else.

Instead of callin' out for fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He didn't want nobody's money.

Now I'm not exactly sure
What this all means
But it's the damnest thing
I swear I've ever seen.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, since that time every town is the same
I can't make a dime I don't know why I came
I decide I'll go and find him
And find out who's behind him.

He has everyone convinced that he's for real
Well, I figure we can work us out a deal
So he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I'll get paid off on down the line.

Well, I guess I'll string along
Don't see how too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow...


Mirror lyrics:

We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow...
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
Don't see how too much can go wrong
Well, I guess I'll string along

He says I'll get paid off on down the line.
So he offers me a job and I say fine
Well, I figure we can work us out a deal
He has everyone convinced that he's for real

And find out who's behind him.
I decide I'll go and find him
I can't make a dime I don't know why I came
Well, since that time every town is the same

--- Instrumental ---

I swear I've ever seen.
But it's the damnest thing

Now I'm not exactly sure

He didn't want nobody's money.
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
Instead of callin' out for fire from above

He was somethin' else.
But the guy comes through here last month
You're pretty good if I do say so myself
This old man comes up to me he says I seen you on the street

So I head across the road to drink some wine.
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
But everyone just turns and walks away
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day

But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell

Well, I'd hire a kid to say he was lame

Not only that I could tell you why

I could tell you day was night.
I could tell you black was white
I could tell a tale I could make it spin
Man you should have seen me way back then
