Mississipi

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been searching for the higher ground

I've heard some stories about the Ghost in this town

I would tell you if you stick around

For Mississippi

Take all of my money cause it doesn't by love

Give me all your time because it's never enough

In a moment of madness

Take me to the moment where we fell in love

Through Mississippi

In a moment of madness

I jumped into your wishing well

With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down

I'll count on you

To seal the wholes in my false hope

You'll be my river when I'm all alone

And in return I'll sail your shores

I hope your tidal wave falls short

Please fall short

I've been trying to read your thoughts

I don't think that your reasons were enough

I'll build myself a raft and sail the great ocean

To Mississippi

Darling I must ask is there love in your blood

Darling I must have you ever know love

I'll question every aspect and if your the one

Oh Mississippi

You felt our love and you broke both arms

You tried and tested every part

I think you wasted our last chance

Oh Mississippi

Your river banks weren't strong enough

You hide your tears and you shook them off

Six's weeks in your care did strain

Mississippi

In a moment of madness

I jumped into your wishing well

With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down

I'll count on you

To seal the wholes in my false hope

You'll be my river when I'm all alone

And in return I'll sail your shores

I hope your tidal wave falls short

Please fall short

When the bank caves in

And you flood the towns with water from the gulf

Lake eye tides they flow

Your the start of something that was beautiful

I can fix you

I can mend you

I can make you run again

Like you used to

Like your meant to

We can drown just like we planned

In a moment of madness

I jumped into your wishing well

With a pocket full of copper to weigh me down

I'll count on you

To seal the wholes in my false hope

You'll be my river when I'm all alone

And in return I'll sail your shores

I hope your tidal wave falls short

Please fall short
