The day since I met her I can't believe it's true She came here from Memphis Across the ocean sailing And I saw her And I pleaded Why do you come so far? And she said Trying to get to you How I tried to get to you Trying to get to you I'm sending a letter I'll send it right to you I'll send it to Memphis I know that someday Everything I needed And I wanted Used to be that my head was haunted And all these sirens, they make me mad And all this violence, it brings me down I feel strong I feel lucky Trying to get to you Said I'm going to get to you Trying to get to you
