Waiting there by the side of the river
Waiting there but she did not show
Wringing his hands and shaking his head
Checking his watch it's time to go

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon

Out here the truth is all you can see
But there is a trick in the thick of it all
The ghost in a fog is a thin line
Between first light and last call

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon

Waiting there by the side of the river
Get ready to cross to the other shore
Standing there by the side of the river
It never looked so wide before

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon
