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 shores 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 shores 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 shores 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 shores 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 shores of Jordan 'til the
angels carry me.

I just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels
carry me. I know they'll carry me.
