lyrics

Frozen city on the Mississippi / Mighty Mississippi, won't you carry my home?
I've never been so cold, tired or alone / southern small town / where my heart may still be found / I know it's Christmas
everywhere / but Saint Paul's stripping my heart bare / Mighty Mississippi, won't you carry me home? water rolling / distant
churchbells tolling / icy, dark days / wandering under the skyways / the streets are blanketed in snow / just leaving foot-
prints, no place to go / night and snow fall / not a soul on the streets at all / on this still night, lonely folks cast back their
minds / as they spill out of the bars / their breath rising to the stars.
