Dream of Mississippi [Twistedpeppermintstars]
Magic finds us kicking up the dust along the road
Silence travels farther than a story often told
Vagabond I've been, and vagabond I'll always be,
running down the devil at every crossroads that I see.
I never thought to be called back to a home that I outgrew,
but the summer's gone, the call is strong and there's something I must do.
Thought I knew all of the stories that a Southern girl could know
but there's a dream of Mississippi that I never tell a soul.
There's a boy there with his arms outstretched to me when I pass by.
Some days, I wish my heart were dead, too tired to even cry.
When missing him is all I do, the days all pass me by
like these dreams of Mississippi and these ghosts who cannot lie.
Oh, this ring rests on my finger like a veve on a wall
and whispers gather 'round me, come to dance when darkness falls.
Everything I see adds up to say the tale is tall,
but back into his arms is really not that far to fall.
There is moonlight on the river where I never thought I'd go.
There's a dream of Mississippi that I never tell a soul.
At night, I swear I feel him, and so my eyes stay closed.
The distance brings us closer now than ever I supposed.
Who knows?
So I'm going where the sunshine shimmers right through summer's end,
where the heat will lay you out before the harvest comes to mend.
A world I thought was done with me has called me back again
with these dreams of Mississippi and this ghost who calls me friend.
There is moonlight on the river where I never thought I'd go.
There's a dream of Mississippi that I never tell a soul.
Thought I knew all of the stories that a Southern girl could know.
There's a dream of Mississippi that I never tell a soul.I gave the artist this song to inspire the piece: http://music.sjtucker.com/track/dre.....of-mississippi
All the lyrics above belong to the super awesome SJ, go listen to her nao!
This came out so beautifully, I can't stop staring! <3
Seriously, go give this artist your love and your dollars, this is nothing short of magnificent, and they deserve your business!
The lyrics for this song are just so perfect, as is this piece, and my morning has been made!
