Every step of the way, we walk the line. Your days are numbered, so are mine.Time is pilling up, we struggle and we stray.We´re all boxed in, nowhere to escape.City´s just a jungle,more games to play.Trapped in the heart of it,tryin´to get away.I was raised in the country,I been working in the town.I been in trouble since I set my suitcase down.Got nothing for you,I had nothing before.Don´t even have anything for myself anymore.Sky full of fire,came pouring down.Nothing you can sell me,I´ll see you around. All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime could never do you justice in reason or rhyme.Only one thing I did wrong.Stayed in ( Mississippi ) a day too long.Well, the devil´s in the alley,mule´s in the stall.Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all.I was thinking about the things that Rosie said.I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie´s bed.Walking through the leaves,falling from the trees.Feeling like a stranger nobody sees.So many things that we never will undo.I know you´re sorry,I´m sorry too.Some people will offer you their hand and some won´t.Last night I knew you, tonight I don´t.I need something strong to distract my mind.I´m gonna look at you ´til my eyes go blind.Well I got here following the southern star.I crossed that river just to be where you are.Only one thing I did wrong.Stayed in ( Mississippi )a day too long. Well my ship´s been split to splinters and it´s sinking fast.I´m drowning in the poison,got no future,got no past.But my heart is not weary,it´s light and it´s free.I´ve got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me.Everybody´s moving, if they ain´t already there.Everybody´s got to move somewhere.Stick with me baby,stick with me anywhow.Things should start to get interesting right about now.My clothes are wet,tight on my skin.Not as tight as the corner that I painted my self in.I know that fortune is waiting to be kind.So give me your hand and say you´ll be mine.Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay.You can always come back,but you can´t come back all the way.Only one thing I did wrong.Stayed in ( Mississippi ) a day too long.

(Lyrics: Bob Dylan,"Mississippi")

Since the sky was cold, heart´s country is sleeping, all leaves moving in emptiness.
