Текст песни: Dream of Mississippi + перевод

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.
