Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never thought of Hades
Under the Mississippi
But still, I've come to sing for him
So southern furies
Prepare to walk
For my harp, I have strung
And I will leave with him
[Verse 2]
Relax
The cogs of rhyme
Over the Memphis sky
Turn back
The wheels of time
Under the Memphis skyline
[Verse 3]
Always hated him for the way he looked
In the gas light of the morning
Then came hallelujah
Sounding like mad Ophelia for me in my room of living
[Verse 4]
So kiss me
My darling
Stay with me till morning
[Verse 5]
Turn back
And you will stay
Under the Memphis skyline
Written by: Rufus Wainwright
