I'm on a wire above the water
I'm getting further from what I need
And now it's too late to turn the corner
I'm getting higher and I just can't see
Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow
Time to move along, to catch the Memphis sun
Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow
I've traveled all day long to catch the Memphis sun
The devil's got my tongue
I'm getting tired of treading water
Open the window and wash me out to sea
Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow
Time to move along, to catch the Memphis sun
Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow
I've traveled all day long to catch the Memphis sun
Yeah, to catch the Memphis sun
I'm getting tired
I'm getting higher
I'm getting high to catch the Memphis sun
