Ты был за миллион миль
И я плакала каждый раз как покидала тебя
Потом я не хотела видеть тебя
Я все еще держу свои часы отстающими на два часа
Кто-то погасил огни там в Мемфисе
Это там где моя семья похоронена
Последний раз когда я была там
Я заметила что осталось место
В чертовой черной земле
Я не знала что была в толпе
И свежескошенная трава прекратила расти
Все на моей полке рухнуло
Я все еще держу свои часы отстающими на два часа
Кто-то погасил огни там в Мемфисе
Это там где моя семья похоронена
Последний раз когда я была там
Я заметила что осталось место
В чертовой черной земле
Был ли это мост, который я пересекала
Где-то я прекратила идти
Наверное я ослабла сама по себе
Я слышала что все дороги ведут в Мемфис
Кроме той о которую я спотыкаюсь
И теперь я буду проклята если когда-нибудь расслышу этого маленького сукина сына из Мемфиса
Ну вот и все, пожалуй.
Ах да, и я не забыла.
You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
Was that bridge I was crossing?
Somewhere I stopped walking,
I guess I fell off on my own
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except for the one I'm stumbling down
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well it's all there I guess
And I haven't forgot
You've been a million miles away
And I cried every time I left you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone put out the lights there in Memphis
This is where my family is buried
Last time I was there
I noticed that there was a place
In the damn black earth
I didn't know I was in the crowd
And the freshly cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf collapsed
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone put out the lights there in Memphis
This is where my family is buried
Last time I was there
I noticed that there was a place
In the damn black earth
Was it a bridge that I crossed
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess I'm weak on my own
I heard that all roads lead to Memphis
Except the one I stumble over
And now I'll be damned if I ever hear this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well, that's all, perhaps.
Oh yeah, and I haven't forgotten.
