The Shores of Jordan Iris DeMent

The Shores of Jordan - Iris DeMent
[Verse 1]
Well, I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries
I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny
The rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be
So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite 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 shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Verse 2]
And I travelled 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 shores of Jordan till the angels carried me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite 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 shores of Jordan till the angels carry me

[Verse 3]
And 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 traveling light
So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side"
