Memphis Skyline Lyrics - Want Two - Rufus Wainwright

Never thought of Hades 

Under the Mississippi 

But still I've come to sing for him 

So southern furies 

Prepare to walk for my harp 

I have strung, and I will leave with him 

Relax the cogs of rhyme 

Over the Memphis sky 

Turn back the wheels of time 

Under the Memphis skyline 

always hated him for the way he looked 

In the gaslight of the morning 

Then came hallelujah sounding like mad Ophelia 

for me in my room living 

So kiss me, my darling stay with me till morning 

Turn back and you will stay 

Under the Memphis Skyline
