From the recording The Earth Floats By
Lyrics
Looking back in my life,
there are things that make me smile,
sights and sound of days gone by.
Just to walk down the street and I'm wondering why
but when you consider it all, it was all worthwhile.
Oh and knowing you and everything you like to do,
I look across the River Jordan blue.
All in all its been good, if you hear no other words,
let my love for you reach out.
When you speak I hear those sounds
but surely there is no doubt,
a conversation occurs when both of us are heard
and I must admit at times, I have been on just one side.
As I look across the River Jordan blue.
So you wish to find a place where people live in peace.
Let each and every heart know the truth.
So I'm singing you this song,
it's just a song about old times.
A life in the days that have nearly gone away.
Oh and knowing you and everything you like to do,
Just look across the River Jordan blue,
and I'll find you.
