Along the edge of the mississippi A thousand hearts bleed My heart looking for something to execute In the mississippi Up against its current My heart so alive Submerged in the [?] dark
Who could hold me here Who could hold me down Sitting on the edge of the Mississippi River of slaves River of bones I have been down here Across generations A lifetimes ago I was sold amongst the thieves I don't ignore the cries I hear them
I am conscious along the Mississippi I hear the footsteps of ghosts I hear them scream behind me I see their boats sink
But I am very alive She draws me to her breath She whispers with her voice Her comfort is all I want or need Alone on saturday night Me and the Mississippi
Two rivers flowing together Flowing internal A river of darkness A river of light Blend as one
Together against the impossible Ends we face Our lunatic charm She can never claim me Nor I her We flow together eternal We flow together as one
And I am the MississippiTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
