Memphis Skyline

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 gas light of the morning

Then came hallelujah

Sounding like mad Ophelia for me in my room of living

So kiss me

My darling

Stay with me till morning

Turn back

And you will stay

Under the Memphis skyline
