Raining in Mississippi

I'll tell you all
my tails and trials
Stretch me out
From this denial
Is it true?
It's not as bright
Here without you
String me by
Your every word
Stuck in a nightmare
That you heard
Maybe it's true?
It's not as bright
Here without you

But it's raining
In Mississippi
And it's raining
But I don't
Wanna go home yet
It feels like somewhere
I need to be
Tell me
You'll keep it for me

Driving up from New Orleans
You'll lay on all
The perfect scenes
When I get there
You'll be running
To see me
Take me by
The fallen trees
Press me down
Onto my knees
When I get there
You'll be running
To meet me

But it's raining
In Mississippi
And it's raining
But I don't
Wanna go home yet
It feels like somewhere
I need to be
Tell me
You'll keep it for me

I've read it
On the daily news
We've always got
Some time for blues
Is it true?
Well won't you
Play it for me
I'll hear it
On the gramophone
You'll never need
To feel alone
When you're here
Won't you sit
Beside me

But it's raining
In Mississippi
And it's raining
But I don't
Wanna go home yet
It feels like somewhere
I need to be
Tell me
You'll keep it for me
