Moon in Memphis Lyrics

Sitting on this runway waiting to take off

Been gone, how long has it been this time

I leave you alone so much I know the neighbors scoff

I say a prayer and make a promise as this plane starts to climb

How can it be

that you still love me

When I am never home

Have you ever seen the moon in Memphis

You know I've never seen Memphis at all

Would you go there with me

Looking out this window as we circle round

What I see isn't the ruins of that ancient city

Just ghosts of Blues, Rock n roll and that sweet Stax Soul Sound

That you aren't here is a plain and perfect pity

I'll take you away

You've heard me say

I'll make it good this time

Have you ever seen the moon in Memphis

You know I've never seen Memphis at all

Would you go there with me

London Paris even Rome

Anywhere you want to go

I'll take you away

You've heard me say

I'll make it good this time

Have you ever seen the moon in Memphis

You know I've never seen Memphis at all

Would you go there with me
