River Jordan

from Shenandoah by Palmyra

lyrics

When you wake up and you wonder when you’ll fall into yourself again
Troubles coming in a windfall
When you try to find the funny in the bottom of a bottomless pit
Kind of loving makings your skin crawl

Someone said you were headed down to the River Jordan
How they’ll make a fool out of you
Sell you snake oil and laugh at your misfortune
Ain’t it funny what hope can do?

Someone said that you forgot what is important
Trying on a truth that isn’t true
Fix your face up from crashing on friends porches
Ain’t it funny what hope can do?

When you wake up and you wonder when you’ll fall into yourself again
Troubles coming in a windfall
When you try to find the funny in the bottom of a bottomless pit
Kind of loving makings your skin crawl

Someone said that you had something you were sorting through
You held your breath till you turned blue
You drank your snake, oil collapsed next to your doorstep
Ain’t it funny what hope can do?

When you wake up and you wonder when you’ll fall into yourself again
Troubles coming in a windfall
When you try to find the funny in the bottom of a bottomless pit
Kind of loving makings your skin crawl

Wake up

When you wake up and you wonder when you’ll fall into yourself again
Troubles coming in a windfall
When you try to find the funny in the bottom of a bottomless pit
Kind of loving makings your skin crawl
