Tom McRae - One Mississippi lyrics

rate me

Got no gloves and I don't wear a hat

and these streets are calling

I forgot the reasons I came

Walk a mile and I cross the bridge to where

the heat of inner stream meets cold river air

And I wonder if I will survive the wave

that'll drown this place

It's a clockwork planet and I've broken every key

Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach

And it's one Mississippi

it is two times grip is slipping

it is three Mississippi

time stands still

Got no home and I made no plans

and this city holds me in the palm of its hand

and it sings "this is where you will catch your breath"

Well I'm thinking of you and I can hear your words

when you said "flying away is for the birds.

and by the way, genius, you ain't walking south"

It's a clockwork planet and I've broken every key

Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach

It's one Mississippi

it is two times grip is slipping

it is three Mississippi

time stands still

And it's four Mississippi

can we stop the clocks from ticking?

it is five Mississippi

time stands still

Can we spin the world on its axis

can we make the clocks run backwards

can I only change your history for a day

And can I fix you in this movie

see us both move in slow motion

is that sunrise or sunset?

well who can say

yeah and it's one Mississippi

it is two times grip is slipping

it is three Mississippi

time stands still

Yeah and it's one Mississippi

It is two times grip is slipping

It is three mississippi

Time stands still
