This is where your sleepless eyes will close

This is where the weary find repose

This is where a kinder bugle blows

This is where you'll wake

To find the River Jordan flows

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Yes I know we're not saying goodbye

Yes I know that farewell don't apply

Yes I know no matter how I try...

Yes I know, and you should know

That all the same I'll cry

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Blue as skies and blue as heavens

Watching over Galilee and Rome

Blue as water, Jordan's waters

Blue as dawn and dawn will take you home

Scarlet nights waiting sleep is overdue

Scarlet nights ending here on in they're blue

Blue as skies and blue as heavens

Watching over you

Blue as water, Jordan's water

Washing over you
