Memphis

Angels spread the bed
dogs bark in the fog
the woman waits within
the questions in my head
they're like timber, they're like logs
while the woman waits within

       soon I'll be in Memphis
       laying out the cards
       and I'll never ever
       stop to wonder who you are
       in Memphis

The guards ain't that hard
tho' not really merry
the woman waits within
the questions in my heart
they're just like boats, like ferries
while the woman waits within

       refr.

She says what should be
and what should be done
the woman that's within
the questions that are me
they're just like moons, and like suns
while the woman waits within

     refr.
