Breathe - Mississippi Water lyrics

rate me

A painted lady sings a lullaby

A raindrop falls from an empty sky

A steamboat's lying on a river bed

The captain smiles and his eyes are red

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

A lady's riding bareback on a horse

I know that Babylon must be her course

An old man's laughing at the dead of night

But I don't care if he is black or white

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

The summer heat burns the skin on my face

And the trees shimmer so in this quiet place

A bird up high sings a song that I know

And those sweet melodies fall down like snow

A crowd of people watch an empty stage

There's no performers but still they stay

Moonlight dances on a slide trombone

The captain whistles as he wanders home

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water

Mississippi water

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me

Mississippi water washing over me
