Artist/Band: PJ Harvey
Lyrics for Song: Memphis
Lyrics for Album: Good Fortune [2001]



You breathed into my mouth

I'll take it

I'll take it for you



You wanna sing

Then sing it for me

You got something

Left to say



Untimely

You were taken 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

Died suddenly

At a wonderful age

Were you ready

Were you ready to go

When you still got so much to say



Somehow I know

You drowned slow

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
