《Memphis》歌词

[00:00:00] Memphis - Janis Ian (珍妮斯·艾恩)

[00:00:17] We were standing by the river

[00:00:24] Staring into town

[00:00:31] All the world was on his shoulders

[00:00:39] The tears were raining down

[00:00:45] All along the Southern skyline

[00:00:52] City lights began to bloom

[00:01:00] He said if you only knew her

[00:01:04] The way that I do sir

[00:01:08] You would be crying too

[00:01:15] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:01:22] She would look different to you

[00:01:29] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:01:37] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:01:49] The streets were filled with cotton

[00:01:55] And music filled the air

[00:02:02] All the paddle boats came rolling

[00:02:09] From east of everywhere

[00:02:16] Now the streets are filled with silence

[00:02:24] And songs no one can hear

[00:02:31] But her memory lingers

[00:02:35] It slips through my fingers

[00:02:38] And into this river of tears

[00:02:46] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:02:53] She would look different to you

[00:03:00] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:03:08] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:03:39] So roll on roll on

[00:03:47] My sweet magnolia roll on

[00:03:54] How the memory lingers

[00:03:58] It slips through my fingers

[00:04:02] And into this river of tears

[00:04:09] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:04:16] She would look different to you

[00:04:24] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:04:31] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:04:42] Memphis the belle of the blues
