《Memphis》歌词

[00:00:01] Memphis - Janis Ian

[00:00:15] We were standing by the river

[00:00:22] Staring into town

[00:00:29] All the world was on his shoulders

[00:00:37] The tears were raining down

[00:00:44] All along the Southern skyline

[00:00:51] City lights began to bloom

[00:00:58] He said if you only knew her

[00:01:03] The way that I do sir

[00:01:07] You would be crying too

[00:01:13] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:01:21] She would look different to you

[00:01:28] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:01:35] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:01:47] The streets were filled with cotton

[00:01:53] And music filled the air

[00:02:01] All the paddle boats came rolling

[00:02:08] From east of everywhere

[00:02:15] Now the streets are filled with silence

[00:02:22] And songs no one can hear

[00:02:29] But her memory lingers

[00:02:33] It slips through my fingers

[00:02:37] And into this river of tears

[00:02:44] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:02:51] She would look different to you

[00:02:59] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:03:06] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:03:38] So roll on roll on

[00:03:46] My sweet magnolia roll on

[00:03:53] How the memory lingers

[00:03:57] It slips through my fingers

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

[00:04:08] If you could see Memphis the way that I do

[00:04:15] She would look different to you

[00:04:23] Queen of the Delta tip your tiara

[00:04:30] Memphis the belle of the blues

[00:04:41] Memphis the belle of the blues
