The tallest man on earth - Graceland lyrics

rate me

The mississippi delta was shining

Like a national guitar

I am following the river

Down the highway

Through the cradle of the civil war

I'm going to graceland

Graceland

In memphis tennessee

I'm going to graceland

Poorboys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland

My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

But I've reason to believe

We both will be received

In graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed

As if I'd never noticed

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow

I'm going to graceland

Memphis tennessee

I'm going to graceland

Poorboys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland

And my traveling companions

Are ghosts and empty sockets

I'm looking at ghosts and empties

But I've reason to believe

We all will be received

In graceland

There is a girl in new york city

Who calls herself the human trampoline

And sometimes when I'm fallingflying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say

Ohso this is what she means

She means we're bouncing into graceland

And I see losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow

In gracelandin graceland

I'm going to graceland

For reasons I cannot explain

There's some part of me wants to see

Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend

Every loveevery ending

Or maybe there's no obligations now

Maybe I've a reason to believe

We all will be received

In graceland
