Jordan and the Nile Lyrics by Jason Hawk Harris

Thin Places

2023

[Verse 1]
Poured the ashes from the river's edge
They shone golden in the river bed
Yeah, they lingered for a couple days
Before the storm came and brushed 'em away
Now every time I'm by a river bank
I look to see if there's a golden wake
Guess I'm lookin' for that healing tide
Where one day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
One day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
[Verse 2]
He's branded on his elbow joint
Lookin' like the devil's needlepoint
But brown sugar's territorial
My uncle died prayin' for a miracle
He got so skinny as the dark came near
Turned to the side one day and disappeared
Somewhere he's singin' and he can't stop smilin'
But one day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
One day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
[Verse 3]
I press my ear against her bathroom door
I hear her breathin' out a spoonful more
Yeah, I know she gotta get her fill
It's the only way to keep her still
I'm half an orphan since she went that way
She's on that hill right off the interstate
I bring her flowers while the cars go by
And one day the Jordan, one day the Jordan
[Verse 4]
And now the devil's tryin' to get me too
He might kill me, but I'll make it through
Gonna look for that river 'til I can't no more
'Til I see my mama standin' on the farther shore
You see, I, I'm feelin' heavy, but I see the light
My world is dark, but my abyss is bright
And even if it takes a little while
Then one day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
One day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
One day the Jordan gonna swallow the Nile
[Outro]
Little river
Little river, run my heart right through
And let me float away on you
From the locust and blood and the damage I've done
Little river, let me float for a while
Yeah, I wanna see the Jordan swallow the Nile
Yeah, I wanna see the Jordan swallow the Nile
Yeah, I wanna see the Jordan swallow the Nile
