lyrics

I don't know what drew
me to you
everything you do
down to
your slip on shoes
your broom skirts too
with your sling purse
and your goodwill shirts
covered with cardigans
your wrists are wrapped in international bands
that precede your unholdable hands
that I actually held one unforgettable day
when we walked down twin oaks lane
which foreshadowed what I didn't know
cause ya see twin oaks was a dead end road
but I still miss your sharpie tattoos
in a language no one knew

Chorus
but they have faded away from me
yeah, they have faded in my memory

Vs2
do you remember the night
we sat in my driveway
I played the guitar
you played the ukulele
and I felt like I was in a movie
like in once, you know the music store scene
when everything clicks and they sing, "we still got time"

Chorus

Vs3
I miss the games
that we used to play
like the one where you gave
3 words to build a story
once you gave me
a farmer and a donkey
and a Polynesian girl spoke the pop click language of the Kalahari tribes
And I spun it into an epic tale
where the farmer adopts the Polynesian girl
just to fatten her up like the story of Hansel and Gretel
But Jimmy the walking talking donkey
found the key broke the small girl out of her jail
then they ran away together, swore they'd never tell
of the farmer and his hell
And since Jimmy was a walking talking Donkey
they both because carnies
and now they make lots of money and they sleep very well
far away from the farmers hell

Chorus2
but they have faded away from me
and they have faded in my memory
please don't fade away, from me
please don't fade away, from me

Ending
Oh, Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Oh, Jericho
Jericho, O, Jericho
Why'd your walls not fall for me
Jericho, O, Jericho
Why'd your walls not fall for me
and on your hand is another man's ring
Jericho, O, Jericho
Why'd your walls not fall for me
