Description
Love here is like a long-awaited discovery that has been sought for almost a quarter of a century. These words seem simple, but they exude the warmth of the evening air, mixed with the scent of pine trees and something sweet from a roadside café. It is a feeling that is unhurried and does not burn with fire - it has taken root like a small town on a map, where time seems to pass more slowly. And all you need to do is count “one, two, Mississippi,” and it becomes clear: you cannot go on without this attachment any longer.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, it's safe to say I shoulda met you sooner.
I guess I reckon it was in due time.
Skip the twenty-five years that it took me to find you, lady of the Lauderdale county line.
My meridian, my sweet meridian, you done a number on this heart of mine.
My meridian, my sweet meridian,
I wanna love you till the day I die.
All of the time, you're on my mind, high in a pine.
I ain't too certain it'll come back down.
It's all the same, well, a sure thing to say about the somethin' in the water in this speed trap town.
My meridian, my sweet meridian, you done a number on this heart of mine.
My meridian, my sweet meridian,
I wanna love you till the day I die.
And
I don't wanna know where I would be without you, and I doubt it'd even amount to nothin' at all.
Yeah, you take one Mississippi, two Mississippi for it to simply be a couple seconds too long without the lovin' of my, my meridian, my sweet meridian. You done a number on this heart of mine.
My meridian, my sweet meridian,
I wanna love you till the day I die.
Oh, my, my meridian, my sweet meridian, you done a number on this heart of mine.
My, my meridian, my sweet meridian, I wanna love you till the day
I die.
