Jordan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They drowned me in the Jordan
Then they tried to wash me clean
They got the stains out
But now its too damn hard to breathe
They told me he’s a good Lord
As they tied the shackles to my feet
They drowned me in the Jordan
And then they walked away from me
I washed up on the shores alone
In a tattered wedding gown
Disillusioned my heart hardened
Everything I’d known had let me down
And that is whеre you found me
Grace and whiskеy on your breath
You pulled me back on my feet
And taught me how to dance again
And now we’re building our own Promised Land
On this new which we stand
God bless the work of our hand
And make good on our plans
Cause now I’ve found love
There’s no turning back
I don’t feel so young now
I gave the best years of my life away
I tried to build an institution
Instead of trying to keep the faith
Here in the wild
You l loved me though I was not lovely or deserving
You kissed the curse from my lips
And taught them to rejoice again
And now we’re building our own Promised Land
On this new which we stand
God bless the work of our hand
And make good on our plans
Cause now I’ve found love
There’s no turning back
Now I’ve found love
There’s no turning back
