Once in a While - Jon Bryant

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…
