January came and took my heart away
February felt the same
March my hugs became hold ons
April I huffed like porridge on the boil
Morning May, I'm downwind from your shampoo
Ichi ni san go roku nana hachi kyuu jyuu
In June I learned to count to ten in Japanese
Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull
Instead I visit family
They told me I'm special
Augustus came and stabilised me with my father's pain
Relieving drug diazepam
Life floats away
October I swim back for my birthday
Firework display in the cafeteria of my old school
Happier my coal-black sleep in my cold, deep bed
December you sang at my funeral

If it's depths to your rivers I've picked one for you
Oh greedy with Ss but equalled by Is
If it's stones for your pockets I've collected a few
To hold you down

Missisippi come back to me
Missisippi your coal-black sleeo
Oh Missisippi

Missisippi come back to me
Missisippi your cold black sleep
Oh Missisippi
