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
