Last Year

January came and took my heart away
February felt the same
March, my hugs became hold ons
April, I huffed like porridge on the boil
Morning May, I'm downwind from your shampoo
Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, jyuu
June, I learned to count to ten in Japanese

Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull
Instead, I visit family
They told me I'm special
Hmm
Augustus came
And stabilized me with my father's pain
Relieving drug, diazepam
Life floats away

October, I swam back for my birthday
Firework display in a cafeteria of my old school
Happier my coal-black sleep in my cold, deep bed
December, you sang at my funeral

If it's depths to your rivers, I've picked one for you

Oh, greedy with Ss but equalled by Is
If it's stones for your pockets, I've collected a few
To hold you down
To hold you down

Mississippi, come back to me

Oh, Mississippi, your coal-black sleep

Oh, Mississippi

Mississippi, come back to me

Oh, Mississippi from your coal-black sleep

Oh, Mississippi
