Mississippi Isabel lyrics

I found out about her

Her name's Mississippi Isabel

She grows wild strawberries

She's made of ivory and pearl.

To look at the universe

She'd abandoned the world

I go with her back to the darkness

I'd give my life for this girl

I rode around on my bicycle

All the way in the rain

She kissed me once I took her out for lunch

And she never kissed me again

x2

Her beauty knows no tick of time

She's the song of the nightingale

The torturer, the remedy and the tragedy

In the passionate tale

And I begged for forgiveness for the way that I am

And I hope she doesn't blame men for the inelegance of men

I rode around on my bicycle

All the way in the rain

She kissed me once I took her out for lunch

And she never kissed me again
