Back To Memphis

If I never saw you

You'd still live in my dreams

Calling out from stages

And music magazines

If I were a painter

You'd be green and gold

Carved out of matches

But broken out of stone

Taken from the fire of your fiddle

Words of unspoken, blinding truth

If I couldn't see it,

I was lost in my youth

But I'm going back to

Memphis - after you.

If I could have seen you

With blood on your bones

Poison in your fingers

But music in your soul

You could have been my lover

Taught me everything

I know But now we are your children

Your flowers in the snow

But all you ever wanted was to see the heart of the city, oh

And all you ever got was hand to mouth

So I know you'll be walking for a long, long time

Cause you're going back to

Memphis - heading

South. Brothers till the night came

And whispered in the pines

Tempting me with secrets

To play a game with time

Now I feel you in the walls

And I know you're in the air

And it's just like

I can touch you

You're living everywhere

But all you ever wanted was to be in the heart of the city, oh

And all you ever got was handed out

So I know we'll be walking for a long, long time

Cause we're going back to

Memphis - heading

South Going back to

Memphis - heading

South.
