the big river lies between us
on this january massacre
i feel like they have seen us
so i must put the past away
hearing all your words has left me cold
nothing left to say
forest that surrounds me
hear your breathing, can't take that away

feeling quite ashamed that i'm to blame
where have we seen this before
longing to get to the place where you
are waiting for me, my love
at the one uniting bridge we'll meet
and plant our feet upon the edge
hand in hand we'll jump
together as one, together as one
you, me, and the mighty mississippi
...time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time...

"breathe, breathe in the air...don't be afraid to care...leave but don't leave me...look around and choose your own ground...for long you live and high you fly...and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry...and all you touch and all you see...is all your life will ever be..."

    I'd probably skip the Missississippi, its big, flat & muddy & too many boats & floods to be romantic,
    probably outta at least hang on until you can get to a
    decent river, like say the Santiam, maybe the or McKenzie,
    be worth it just to say you saw a really pretty river first.

    i see your point... i got a nice river by me but the bridge is only 5 feet above the water... not gonna work too well.. and the signifigance of the whole mississippi thing is a conversation i had with a friend who lives in iowa... the mississippi is the only river directly inbetween us... just a stupid poem thing anyhow...
