Memphis - PJ Harvey
You breathing into my mouth
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing? Then sing it through 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 sh_t 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, you're 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
Were you ready, were you ready to go
When you still got so much to say?
Somehow I know you're driving 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
