Once in a While

Israel, you’ve left me a mark
and it rests on my forehead
like dust on a spark
An' I still see clouds in the clearest of nights
but when you settle in,
you’re the truest of northern lights
Jerusalem,
I miss you now
I miss you now
and the way we danced,
so lost in the crowd
So take my hand,
or let my heart go
I’m not gonna leave you like lovers before
Don’t you remember
what I said that night
I can’t stand to be with you
once in a while
«Take me down to the medic» you ask
And carry me close for to weave through the stacks
An' I can’t see pain
til it weakens your heel
In this city so fake,
you’re the sapphire so delicately real.
Jerusalem,
I miss you now
I miss you now
And the way we danced,
so lost in the crowd…
So take my hand
and let my heart go
I’m not gonna leave you like lovers before
Don’t you remember what I said that night
I can’t stand to be with you once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while
once in a while…
