Testo Journey Down the Nile - JD Souther
Testo della canzone Journey Down the Nile (JD Souther), tratta dall'album If the World Was You
She had the golden eyes of Egypt
She had a veil across her smile
A yoke of gold was on her
So she walked a crooked mile
But she only did what she was told
No helping hand to hold
No psychiatric folder yet on file
For the journey down the Nile
In another land the angels sang
And someone smiled that Mary smile
Poverty was on bad
The empire was in style
So there they had their pride and joy
She said, "Let's just call him baby boy
God knows we need one right now with no guile"
For the journey down the Nile
Oh, the blood that Jesus shed
Tears fall from the prophet's head
Eyes of Krishna painted red
Even the Buddha said, "I might be gone a while
Don't forget to smile"
On a journey down the Nile
Sanity is on the line
Your soul is right there too
The race is truly on us now
What you gonna do?
You can stand and fight with one hard face
Miss the point and lose our place
Clinging to this golden cup of style
On a journey down the Nile
