jason hawk harris - jordan and the nile lyrics
poured the ashes from the river’s edge
they shone golden in the river bed
yeah they lingered for a couple days
before the store came and brushed ‘em away
now every time i’m by a river bank
i look to see if there’s a golden week
guess im looking for that healing tide
where one day the jordan gonna swallow the nile
one day the jordan gonna swallow the nile
he’s branded on his elbow joint
looking like the devil’s needle point
but brown sugar’s territorial
my uncle died praying for a miracle
he got so skinny as the dark came near
turned to the side one day and disappeared
somewhere he’s singing and he can’t stop smiling
but one day the jordan gonna swallow the nile
one day the jordan gonna swallow the nile
i pressed my ear against a bathroom door
i hear her breathin’ down a spoonful more
yeah i know she’s gotta get her fill
it’s the only way to keep her still
half an orphan since she went that way
she’s on that hill right off the interstate
i bring her flowers while the cars go by
and one day the jordan, one day the jordan
and now the devil’s trying to get me too
he might k!ll me but i’ll make it through
i’m gonna look for that river ’til i can’t no more
’til i see my mama standing on the farther shore
see i’m feeling heavy but i see the light
my world is dark but my abyss is bright
and even if it takes a little while
then one day the jordan’s gonna swallow the nile
one day the jordan’s gonna swallow the nile
one day the jordan’s gonna swallow the nile
little river, little river run my heart right through
and let me float away on you
from the locust and blood and the damage i’ve done
little river let me float for a while
yeah i wanna see the jordan swallow the nile
yeah i wanna see the jordan swallow the nile
yeah i wanna see the jordan swallow the nile
