If I never saw you You'd still live in my dreams Calling out from stages And music magazines ? if I were a painter You'd be green and gold Carved out of matches But broken out of stone ? taken from the fire of your fiddle Words of unspoken, blinding truth If I couldn't see it, I was lost in my youth But I'm going back to memphis - after you. ? if I could have seen you With blood on your bones Poison in your fingers But music in your soul ? you could have been my lover Taught me everything I know But now we are your children Your flowers in the snow ? but all you ever wanted was to see the heart of the city, oh And all you ever got was hand to mouth So I know you'll be walking for a long, long time Cause you're going back to memphis - heading south. ? brothers till the night came And whispered in the pines Tempting me with secrets To play a game with time ? now I feel you in the walls And I know you're in the air And it's just like I can touch you You're living everywhere ? but all you ever wanted was to be in the heart of the city, oh And all you ever got was handed out So I know we'll be walking for a long, long time Cause we're going back to memphis - heading south Going back to memphis - heading south. ?
