lyrics

Kisses like stitches upon the skin
Pull the threads, Let the scars begin
Silk blonde curls, fairy tales, and birds without wings
These are a few of my sister things

Tadpoles in the overflow, turn into frogs
Trip over ant hills and soak in the tub
Magic circle crepe myrtle and blackberries
That was my Mississippi

I could never find my way back home
The Mississippi flow is too shallow
Even if I wanted to go
The Mississippi flow is too shallow

Running faster than a snake
There is grass beneath my toes
I could live there all my life
But mother knows
We’ll be moving away before long
Say goodbye to those you know

You’ll be the Dill to my Scout
Remind me how I ran wild without
Before the real world got me down
And fitting in became a skirt and blouse

I could never find my way back home
The Mississippi’s flow is too shallow
Even if I wanted to go
The Mississippi flow is too shallow

Long before I could sing
Long before I could talk
Long before I could read
Long before I could walk
