[00:08.46] Well I looked up into heaven I thought I'd solve life's mysteries
[00:13.59] I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny
[00:20.03]
[00:20.90] But the rhyme of life confounds me things will be as things will be
[00:26.42] So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me
[00:32.73]
[00:33.61] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
[00:39.24] Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long
[00:44.49] And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
[00:51.74] So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me
[00:56.74]
[00:59.50] And I traveled to a prison I saw my share of shattered dreams
[01:04.69] Were the tables slightly tilted I could be bound they could be free
[01:10.00]
[01:11.63] But I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees
[01:17.44] Vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carried me
[01:23.19]
[01:25.00] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
[01:30.44] Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come fore too long
[01:36.00]
[01:37.88] And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
[01:43.31] So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me
[01:49.06]
[02:04.64] An' I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road
[02:09.39] And I said Friend please may I help you it seems you haul a heavy load
[02:15.89]
[02:16.52] But he said Though my burden's heavy in my heart I'm travelling light
[02:22.14] So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side
[02:28.20]
[02:29.77] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
[02:35.27] Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long
[02:41.52]
[02:42.27] Oh and there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
[02:48.08] So I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me
[02:54.02]
[02:55.46] I just dance the shores of Jordan til the angels carry me
[03:05.39] I know they'll carry me
