Pj Harvey - Memphis
You're breathing in my mouth
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing
Then sing it through me
You've got something left to say
Untimely, you were taking away
Unlikely, out if turn
When you still got so much to say
Well 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 Valentines 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 Valentines Day
Die suddenly at a wonderful age
Though were you ready, were you ready to go?
When you still got so much to say
Somehow I know
you're drowning slow
Receiving just everything
But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm know that
You're smiling
You're peaceful
You're smiling
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing
Then sing it through me
You've got something left to say
Untimely, you were taking away
Unlikely, out if turn
When you still got so much to say
Well 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 Valentines 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 Valentines Day
Die suddenly at a wonderful age
Though were you ready, were you ready to go?
When you still got so much to say
Somehow I know
you're drowning slow
Receiving just everything
But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm know that
You're smiling
You're peaceful
You're smiling
