《On the Banks of Mississippi》歌词

[00:00:51] On the banks of the Mississippi

[00:01:01] An old man sits on his bench

[00:01:09] Watching the river's water flow

[00:01:18] Smoking cigarettes as time goes by

[00:01:25] Reminiscing about the years past

[00:01:32] And his loved ones who've gone old

[00:01:35] Now his life is shortened

[00:01:39] His better days are gone

[00:01:42] Watching the moon in the eventide

[00:01:52] In the cold freezing rain

[00:01:53] Three destinies in a cruel world

[00:02:07] With vague dreams buried by loss

[00:02:10] Laying their burdens down

[00:02:19] On the banks of the Mississippi

[00:02:22] On the banks of the Mississippi

[00:02:29] A woman breaks down in tears

[00:02:37] Crying for her lost love

[00:02:46] Who was consumed by the waves

[00:02:54] On a stormy autumn night

[00:02:59] Never to be found again

[00:03:03] Now her life is without meaning

[00:03:08] Now her life is dead

[00:03:09] Watching...

[00:03:47] On the banks of the Mississippi

[00:03:51] An old sailor is drinking his ale

[00:03:57] Trying to find peace of mind, trying to ease the pain

[00:04:05] Regretting his actions of the past, and all those wasted years

[00:04:14] Time spent at bars around the world, miles away from home

[00:04:23] Now he longs for someone

[00:04:33] But no one is to be found

[00:04:52] Watching...

[00:05:15] Cast your sorrows to the wind

[00:05:37] And stay for a while

[00:06:04] Don't let them bring you down

[00:06:49] Those sorrows you cannot hide

[00:07:42] They're tearing you up inside

[00:07:45] Another day will come

[00:07:49] When you lay your burdens down
