Xiu Xiu - Farther On lyrics

As we travel through the desert Storms beset us by the way But beyond the river Jordan Lies a field of endless day Farther on, still go farther Count the milestones one by one Jesus will forsake you never It is better farther on Oh, my brother, are you weary Of the roughness of the way? Does your strength begin to fail you And your vigor to decay? Farther on, still go farther Count the mile stones one by one Jesus will forsake you never It is better farther on At my grave, oh still be singing Though you weep for one that's gone Sing it as we once did sing it It is better farther on Farther on, still go farther Count the milestones one by one Jesus will forsake you never It is better farther on
