Memphis; The Blues (feat. John Moreland)

歌詞

Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin' It was early summertime We fogged up the rear window of my '67, three-hundred, in-line My lungs have been hurtin' And it's likely my liver has taken a lickin', too Them Beale Street boys are handy With a clap on four and two The thrill is gone, so slow and easy Won't you love me tender? The way you move's a drug And I am on a lifelong bender So rest them tired eyes And let your dress fall to the ground We're the only ones left Who love Otis in this town I need you like Memphis, the blues I need you like Memphis, the blues Cracked up skies, tried on a couple lives To find the one that fit Cold wind comin' and the heat quit runnin' But you keep my candle lit Pictures on the wall say it all With the kinda conviction, make a river burn You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck I got a chain around my heart Church bells ringing in the air down the hill from the house where you were born I said, "Baby, don't you think we ought to live a little bit Before Gabriel blows his horn?" I need you like Memphis, the blues I need you like Memphis, the blues I need you like Memphis, the blues. I need you like Memphis, the blues I need you like Memphis, the blues I need you like Memphis, the blues
