Mississippi (Demo)

from Sundry Demos by Lounna

lyrics

maybe these hills could never set you right
or these evergreens grew too high
a life spent hidden in the shadows
is hardly a life at all, I know

but wasn't I more than just a mirage
in the desert of your love?

on that friday, you crossed the mississippi
said goodbye
a bird in the sky
here I will stay along the mississippi,
until you come home to me

maybe it's true, I never came to mind
when you chose to leave this all behind
but of your life, sister, I wonder
were you ever struck with such sonder?

and wasn't this riverbank more than enough
for the pasture of your love?

on that friday, you crossed the mississippi
said goodbye
a bird in the sky
here I will stay along the mississippi,
until you come home to me

maybe one day the torrents will bring you back,
noting how the time moves too fast
and every winter will come too soon
this time, I pray your flowers will have bloomed

here I will stay along the mississippi,
until you come home to me
here I stay, along the mississippi,
until you come home to me
