Mississippi

歌詞

Mississippi Honey, it smells like rain The sea is coming back again Sun's descending And the moon's lit up in half So is every blade of grass And the mystery makes me laugh At all my guessing Mississippi Coming to me in my dreams Flowing like a golden stream Just like an orphan For years she was changing arms Mother Mary kept her outta harm Those purple flowers on the farm Just kept growing They grew right through the fence Never knew what they were up against So I abandoned all pretence Of knowing Before your daughter's grown The stars will be our own You can count 'em One, two, three Mississippi Pouring across my face Putting everything in place And it'll be raining Till the Sun King has arrived Better put everything inside Or it'll get ruined Mississippi A river in a thousand drops Come on, Jesus, show me what you got Don't it taste good? That sweet corn, country rain The rock, the silt, the sand of the ages. I got everything I need Mississippi is in the seed In the stars and you and me And the dogwood Those constellations climb And me I'm not far behind Your little heart beating next to mine It's going One, two, three Mississippi I've got everything I need Mississippi is in the seed In the stars and you and me And the dogwood Those constellations climb And me I'm not far behind Your little heart beating next to mine Keep it going, baby, keep the time It's going One, two, three
