Midnight in Memphis — текст песни (Bette Midler)

Its midnight in memphis

And all the boys are out tonight.

Oh, midnight in memphis,

But my true love is not in sight.

The neons glowing,

But I just dont see the light.



Im following my footsteps

Trying to find myself a friend.

Oh, baby! following my footsteps

Trying to see where they might end.

Im tryin to break these blues,

But I cant even get them to bend.



Oh, midnight in memphis.

Well, ya take me away.

Midnight in memphis.

Its a long, long time

Before the day.



Burnin out on beale street.

Can you hear that engine roar?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Burnin out on beale street.

Theres a girl in every door.

Yeah, you know it dont matter what you got,

Theyre asking me for more.

Play it for me one time, boys.



I heard the river risin,

Risin up over my head.

Yeah, heard the river risin,

And this is what it said:

"i dont need no live ones;

I just take care of the dead."



Oh, midnight in memphis.

Take me, take me away.

Midnight in memphis.

Its a long, long time

Before the day.



Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in memphis.

Midnight in memphis.

Midnight in memphis.

Its a long, long time

Before the day,

Before the day.
