Janis Ian One Mississippi


I feel your heart against my hand tonight I taste the colors of your skin I see you tremble like a butterfly Will you let me in? Will you let me in?

I drink the wine that lingers in your hair I breath your need upon the wind I run my fingers through you everywhere, ready to begin - ready to begin

But I never laid a hand on your heart Even when it tore me apart I only took what you gave from the start Never promised more than a dream Wonderful as it might have seemed I always felt there was someone else beside us in the dark so I never laid a hand on your heart

I hold your restless body in my arms until the fever leaves your skin I feel your heart beat underneath my palms and I let you in. As I let you in There is no sorrow in this heart of mine There is no future and no past I only hope to hold the hands of time long as it can last. Long as it can last

'cause I never laid a hand on your heart Even when it tore me apart I only took what you gave from the start Never promised more than a dream Wonderful as it might have seemed I always felt there was someone else beside us in the dark So I never laid a hand on your heart On your heart On your heart
