Memphis Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

You breathing into my mouth 

I'll take it 

I'll take it for you 

You wanna sing 

Then sing it for me 

You got somehitng 

Left to say 

Untie me 

We're taking away 

Unlikely 

Out of time 

When you still got 

So much to say 

I'll write it 

A song for you 

But oh 

What a way to go 

So peaceful 

You're smiling 

Oh what a way to go 

I'm with you 

I'm singing 

You said 

There's a special place 

And it's scaring 

The shit out of me 

In memphis 

On valentine's day 

You wrote it 

In a letter to me 

Well I wish I had given you more time 

To say thank you 

My beautiful friend 

But sometimes you gotta send it away 

To bring it 

To bring it back again 

But oh what a way to go 

So peaceful 

He's smiling 

Oh what a way to go 

I'm with you 

I'm singing 

You'll always 

Have open eyes 

You'll always 

Have a special place 

In memphis 

On valentine's day 

Die suddenly 

At a wonderful age 

We're ready 

We're ready to go 

When you still got so much to say 

Somehow I know 

You drank and stole 

Receiving just everything 

But oh 

What a way to go 

So peaceful 

You're smiling 

Oh what a way to go 

I know that you're smiling 

Oh 

What a way to go 

So peaceful 

I'm singing 

Oh 

What a way to go 

I know that 

You're smiling 

You're peaceful 

You're smiling 

You're peaceful 

You're smiling 

I know that 

You're smiling 

You're peaceful 

You're smiling
