Testo Mississippi - Bob Dylan
Testo della canzone Mississippi (Bob Dylan), tratta dall'album Fragments - Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series, Vol. 17 (Deluxe Edition)
Every step of the way
We walk the line
Your days are numbered
So are mine
Time is pilin' up
We struggle and we scrape
We're all boxed in
Nowhere to escape
City's just a jungle
More games to play
Trapped in the heart of it
Trying to get away
I was raised in the country
Been workin' in the town
Been in trouble
Since I set my suitcase down
Got nothing for you
I had nothing before
Don't even have
Anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire
Pain pourin' down
Nothing you can sell me
I'll see you around
All my powers of expression
And thoughts so sublime
Could never give you
Justice in reason or ryhme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, the devil's in the alley
Mule's in the stall
Say anything you want to
I have heard it all
I was thinkin' about
The things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
Walking through the leaves
Falling from the trees
Feeling like a stranger here nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you
Their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need somethin' strong
To distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'till my eyes go blind
Well, I got here
Following the southern star
I crossed that river
Just to be where you are
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, my ship's been split to splinters
And it's sinking fast
I'm drownin' in the poison
Got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary
It's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection
For all those who've sailed with me
Everybody's movin'
If they ain't already there
Everybody got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby
Stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get
Interesting right about now
My clothes are wet
They're tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner
That I painted myself in
I know fortune is waitin' to be kind
So give me your hand
And say you'll be mine
Well, the emptiness is endless
Cold as the clay
You can always come back
But you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
