Natalie Hemby – New Madrid Lyrics

Verse 1
Been so long since I felt somethin’
Touch a wind eyes swollen with tears
There’s a silence yet I hear you below humming
And a heart that hasn’t moved two years

Chorus
New Madrid
Remember
When we made the Mississippi river run backwards
Sleeping for night
Shifting pieces
Pretending we can’t feel the rift between us
Don’t talk about it
New Madrid

Verse 2
There was a burn
Burn right after midnight
But the smoke took the light away
And the bells that you used to sound
You and I don’t hear them now
And the ground we tripped we buried them someday

Chorus
New Madrid
Remember
When we made the Mississippi river run backwards
Sleeping for night
Shifting pieces
Pretending we can’t feel the rift between us
Don’t talk about it
Oh New Madrid

Post-Chorus
New Madrid
Remember
When we made the Mississippi river run backwards
Sleeping for night
Shifting pieces
Oh pretending we can’t feel the rift between us
Don’t talk about it
Don’t talk about it
New Madrid
