He's there in the dark
Back of the room
Sipping on whiskey
And licking his wound
The laundry's out
The gang's all here
It burns just a little
When the ballroom cheers
Well it's not his song
The story's all wrong
He's got a metronome heart
Taking life with time off
A year in chains
Fistful of pounds
He quietly cusses
That he can't stand the sound
Well he's gone
well he's gone
Well he's gone
Where the scars won't show
He's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
He's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said he's gone to Jericho
I said he's gone to Jericho
I said he's gone to Jericho
Good time tammy
Go and whisper downwind
I'll play forgetful
And you can face the sins
Sitting in the dark
Drinking overpriced wine
He ain't exactly pink
He don't exactly mind
The wine kept comin'
The sun's almost up
The silence pumps away
When the dog throw up
Some things are better
Kept close to the vest
Give what you will
And just bury the rest
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Where the scars won't show
She's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
She's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho
I met him in St. Patrick's
Asleep in a pew
He left Cincinnati
Where the blue is cool
There's a cop down there
Can't walk anymore
If you ask little lady
Say you're now in the war
And poor saint Lynn
In a pub downtown
She was spilling cheap tequila
On a wedding gown
Somebody asked
How'd you end up like this?
She just raised up a glass
And blew us all a kiss
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Where the scars won't show
She's gone
Where the flowers won't grow
She's gone
Where the boat won't row
I said she's gone to Jericho
I said she's gone to Jericho
She's gone to Jericho
Well I paid for my breakfast
With pocket change
Saw dear Jesus
In this coffee stain
No you can't go home
When everything's changed
I held up my cup
And asked for more of the same
I got a ten dollar suit
A restroom shave
I gotta get moving
While I've some soul left to save
Gonna go somewhere
Where I'll carry no blame
I won't have no baggage
And I won't need no name
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'm gone
Where the scars won't show
I'm gone
Where the flowers won't grow
I'm gone
Where the boat won't row
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
I said I'm gone to Jericho
Well I'm gone to Jericho
