Memphis Skyline (Lyric) by wilco
I remember sitting on the banks
in the January night
Looking for the remnants
of the last December light.
And the houses on the hill are watching
as the riverboats drift by
And it seems like only yesterday
I was under the Memphis sky.
So cancel all your New Years plans
because Iâm coming home.
I donât remember any of this
and I donât want to be alone
Everything looks perfect here
but no oneâs quite the same.
Iâve been gone a bit too long
and it seems Iâm lost again.
All I want is to be honest,
but the past keeps telling lies
Iâm sorry that I answered so fast
and Iâm sorry I made you cry.
And the houses on the hill are watching
as the riverboats drift by
And it seems like only yesterday
I was under the Memphis sky.
So cancel all your New Years plans
because Iâm coming home.
I donât remember any of this
and I donât want to be alone.
