Polly Jean Harvey - Memphis lyrics

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
