iris dement – the shores of jordan lyrics
well, i looked up into heaven, i thought i’d solve life’s mysteries.
i observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny.
but the rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be.
so i’ll just dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carry me.
i’m gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs,
’cause i know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long.
and there ain’t no way of me knowing how tomorrow’s gonna be,
so i just dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carry me.
and i traveled to a prison; i saw my share of shattered dreams.
were the tables slightly tilted? i could be bound, they could be free.
but i believe no tear goes wasted, and so i fell there on my knees,
vowed i’d dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carried me.
i’m gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs,
’cause i know my time for leaving is bound to come ‘fore too long.
and there ain’t no way of me knowing how tomorrow’s gonna be,
so i just dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carry me.
instrumental break.
an’ i saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road.
and i said “friend, please may i help you, it seems you haul a heavy load.”
but he said: “though my burden’s heavy, in my heart i’m travelling light,
“so i can cross old river jordan when i’m called to the other side.”
i’m gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs,
’cause i know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long.
oh, and there ain’t no way of me knowing how tomorrow’s gonna be,
so i just dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carry me.
i just dance the sh-r-s of jordan ’til the angels carry me.
i know they’ll carry me.
