Road to Memphis

Jennifer Meade


Time is not mine and neither are you
I don't care to analyze what I'm supposed to do
So why risk my secrets on your ears
And slide across the sea and let you steer?

Mesmerized by the colored lights
By the Memphis sky on a Thursday night
As the city grows big I unroll my mind
A trail of thoughts left for you to find

I am scattered, you are sure
I am less than I've been before

Tonight I'm something of what I don't know
But I'll leave the rest somewhere here on the road
So don't make me promise, just let it be
The smoke and I can hardly see

I am scattered, you are sure
I am less than I've been before
I am scattered, you are near
I was done, but you made me feel
