Graceland (Live at Hyde Park, London, UK - July 2012)

The Mississippi delta

Was shining like a national guitar

I am following the river down the highway

Through the cradle of the Civil War

And I'm going to Graceland, in to Graceland

Memphis Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

My traveling companion is nine years old

He's the child of my first marriage

But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone

As if I didn't know that as if I didn't know my own bed

As if I'd never noticed

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

She said losing love is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody feels the wind blow

But I'm going to Graceland

Memphis Tennessee, Graceland

Poor boys and pilgrims with families

We are going to Graceland

My traveling companion's are ghosts and empty sockets

Looking at ghosts and empties

But I've reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

There is a girl in New York City

She calls herself a human trampoline

And sometimes when I'm falling

Flying, tumbling in turmoil, I say

Oh this is what she means

She means we are bouncing into Graceland

And I see losing love is like a  window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody feels the wind blow

In Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

I cannot explain but some part of me wants to see Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend every love every ending

Maybe there's no obligations now

Maybe I've reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

And I'm going to Graceland

To Graceland, to Graceland, to Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
