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
Every step of the way, we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is piling up, we struggle and we scream
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, I been working in the town
Been in trouble since I set my suitcase down
Got nothing for you, had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Skies full of fire, came pouring down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, the devil's in the alley, you can't get him to stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinking about the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feel like a stranger here, nobody sees
So many things 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 something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind
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 drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
My heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
Got nothing but affection for those who'd sailed with me
Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet, they are tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know fortune is waiting to be kind
So, give me your hand and say you'll be mine
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
