letra de mississippi - leif vollebekk

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 l 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 rocks, 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 l’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
