Memphis Skyline Songtext / Lyric

Never thought of Hades

Under the Mississippi

But still I've come to sing for him

So southern furies

Prepare to walk for my harp

I have strung, and I will leave with him

Relax the cogs of rhyme

Over the Memphis sky

Turn back the wheels of time

Under the Memphis skyline

always hated him for the way he looked

In the gaslight of the morning

Then came hallelujah sounding like mad Ophelia

for me in my room living

So kiss me, my darling stay with me till morning

Turn back and you will stay

Under the Memphis Skyline
