Memphis Sun

I'm on a wire above the water

I'm getting further from what I need

And now it's too late to turn the corner

I'm getting higher and I just can't see

Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow

Time to move along, to catch the Memphis sun

Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow

I've traveled all day long to catch the Memphis sun

The devil's got my tongue

I'm getting tired of treading water

Open the window and wash me out to sea

Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow

Time to move along, to catch the Memphis sun

Ashes down below, the tide is turning slow

I've traveled all day long to catch the Memphis sun

Yeah, to catch the Memphis sun

I'm getting tired

I'm getting higher

I'm getting high to catch the Memphis sun
