Canaan Lyrics - Black Dub - Black Dub

Yeah, yeah, I went walking on the avenue 

Listen to low riders who may, yeah, listen to you 

And my footsteps tangle with perfume 

And the sound of lovemaking 

Coming out of some room 

And the Indians sing 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

There's a woman leaning on the corner 

She waits for her gambler 

Yeah, dressing babies up in cotton 

On the front seat of her rambler 

Low down 

While she says that she remembers, yeah, mmm 

Of a prayer that mama used to sing 

Yeah, and the battered wife sing 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy? 

How far am I from Canaan? 

How far am I from joy, from joy, from joy?
