To hold you down Mississippi, come back to me Oh, Mississippi 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,

All of me, why not take all of me Can't you see that I'm no good without you Take my arms I want to lose them Take my lips I'll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me And

I took one look at you That's all I meant to do My feet could step and walk My lips could move and talk And yet my heart stood still Though not a single word was spoken I could tell you knew Told me so well you knew I never lived at all

What about the heartache What about the emptiness inside It doesn't just fade away Turning the knife How much can I bleed The cut runs deep Got your finger on the trigger Your cold eyes taking aim You took a shot at my heart

I have journeyed endless nights Seen many harbors where I took rest a while On this boat court near and far To be what you must you must give up what you are Only on a wind of hope my heart sailed Craving mystic oceans to arrive Those who do not leave

Push me away, you push me away But I always stay, I always stay, yeah Thought I could leave you 'Cause I felt my heart numbing It hit so deep I closed my eyes and I just took off running I turned around and saw the look on your face

Trough all my school days I hated boys Those April fool days Brought me loveless joy I read my Plato Love I thought a sin, But since your kiss I'm reading Miss Glynn! I took one look at you

Somebody, somebody will give me water I'm a dying man won't you give me water My baby took my love and left me on a desert I feel the taste of salt and I gotta have air to breathe That girl she stole my heart and left me in misery Why don't you give me

Not a night goes by, I don't dream of wandering Through the home that might have been I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you Now every day I wake again In a house that might have been a home, a home I mistook the warnings for wisdom From

We'll carry on Your memory will carry on Will never take my heart You can try You'll never break me When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, son, when you grow up
