Namesake

歌词

Well I guess you thought I might have been in exile

The son you last saw leaving the station

But tomorrow I'll be coming home to Memphis

And will you look your namesake in the eye?

I wonder

Is there something about my hair you don't remember?

Or have I changed beyond all recognition?

Well look at what the wind blew into Memphis

Now will you look your namesake in the eye

This time around?

Who can forget a sinner like me?

He who will not face his own reflection

Unfold your praying hands old man

Awake from your sleep

Behold the dead are raised in resurrection

Well I guess you might have thought I'd be too far gone by now

But here I am as close as your own shadow

The truth is that I've always stood beside you

And I always will

Well somebody said today's your celebration

And who would I be not to wear a smile

So here's to every road that leads to Memphis

Now will you look your namesake in the eye?

Will you look your namesake in the eye?
