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
