MISSISSIPPI MOON

KATHARINE MCEWEN-VOCALS

ASHES MARK THE HOLLOW MAN WHO'LL LIVE IN INFAMY
YOU LEFT ME IN SORRENTO IN THAT VILLA BY THE SEA
BUT I AM STRONG, I'LL PROVE YOU WRONG, YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME ROAM
TO DONNE'S ISLAND BUT INSTEAD, TO MY OLD PLANTATION HOME

MISSISSIPPI MOON, STIRS MY SENSES SHINING ITS LIGHT DOWN ON ME
JACARONDA BLOOMS, FRESH AZALEA BLOSSOMS FEELS LIKE THIS WAS MEANT TO BE

AS I SURVEY THIS OLD PLANTATION
PONDERING NOW THE GREAT ANALOGY
IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR RESTORATION
BAPTIZED BY THE GODS WITH A LIGHTNING ROD
THE FIRE BURNS DEEP DOWN IN ME

AND WHEN I'M DONE I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES,
I WON'T BE AFRAID
SO LIKE A DEBUTTANTE'S FIRST DANCE
I'LL OPEN UP THIS MANSION AND I'LL THROW A MASQUERADE

WELCOME TO THE BALL, THERE'LL BE GAMES AND PRIZES
FACING THE FUTURE WITH ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN HAND
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL Y'ALL, SEE HOW PHOENIX IT RISES

WELL UP ON THE LEVY HEAR SOME JAZZ AND DIXIELAND WELCOME TO THE BALL Y'ALL, WITH SOME GRAND SURPRISES
MARKING THE END OF ONE OLD BIG BAD CENTURY
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL Y'ALL, SEE HOW PHOENIX RISES
RIGHT UP ON THE SITE OF A TRAGIC HISTORY
