Mississippi's cryin'

(performed as MARGARET DURANTE)

It keeps rainin' down the tear stained face of this lonely town
And I drown
And I keep reachin' for one good reason why you said goodbye
Turn around

Oh, you're leaving me in this empty state
And all I see are dark clouds as you drive away

Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out you ain't coming back
The sky can see you leavin' and it can't hold back the tears
It's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying
Mississippi's cryin'

Now he keeps looking for headlights shining in this driveway
But they don't shine
And I keep hopin' this crazy storm will drive you home
But not this time

Oh, my only wish is to change the weather
Are you coming back? Or is it gonna rain forever?

Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out you ain't coming back
The sky can see you leavin' and it can't hold back the tears
It's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying
Mississippi's cryin', Mississippi's cryin'

Where you going, baby?
What's in Tennessee?
You never said a word about Memphis
So who is she?

It keeps raining down the tear stained face of this lonely town
And I drown

Mississippi's cryin', baby, Mississippi's sad
I think we just figured out you ain't coming back
The sky can see you leavin' and it can't hold back the tears
It's pouring down and my heart thinks it's dying
Mississippi's cryin', Mississippi's cryin'
