Текст (слова) песни: Band, The - 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.
