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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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.
