One Mississippi Two Mississippi Three Mississippi I first saw you in the desert Beneath a crescent moon Where the scorpion and asp Fight over dust Stone pillars In the belly of a dune Your face half covered As you ride a white horse Don't come back See no evil It must have been A dream Or at least I awoke to the sound of rain As it fell in the jungle around me In the mist of morning The vines cling and wrap And monkeys barked like dogs The snake coiled on the branch On a log you sit cross-legged Smiling Or maybe You were imagined When I was stranded at sea Having fever dreams on the back Of an orange saftey raft Until the sun burned the skin As the fever climbed Blue cool water beneath me I fall in Letting the cold wake me For a moment From the terrors The clear blue water Sun shining through I saw you below the waves Smiling Turning to kick down into the deep black I followed you Watching your white calves kick Up and down Following you deeper Long after my lungs gave way I descended Until sunlight couldn't reach me And your warm fingers Touched my face In the frigid deep And then You Became everything
