Lyrics
0:30Some old hotel room in Memphis
0:37I see the city through the rain
0:44I'm just chasing me my time
0:52And remembering some pain
0:59You see there once was a boy
1:07And on the street he'd surely die
1:14So the nightbird took him in
1:22And she taught him how to fly
1:29See the nightbird softly fly
1:37Why does she fly alone
1:44Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
1:52Now she's gone
1:58Two bit bars and honky tonks
2:05Any pleasure can be found
2:13You can get just what you want
2:20If you lay your money down
2:27And lonely sailors do their drinking
2:32My my my how the brave men do die
2:41And the nightbird sells her pleasures
2:49Bringing tears to my eyes
2:55See the nightbird softly fly
3:03Why does she fly alone
3:09Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
3:18Now she's gone
4:47So I guess I'll go out walking
4:53Lord let the rain keep falling down
5:01I guess I'll go chase some memories
5:08On the dark side of town
5:14See the nightbird softly fly
5:22Why does she fly alone
5:28Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
5:36Now she's gone
Some old hotel room in Memphis I see the city through the rain I'm just chasing me my time And remembering some pain You see there once was a boy And on the street he'd surely die So the nightbird took him in And she taught him how to fly See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory Now she's gone Two bit bars and honky tonks Any pleasure can be found You can get just what you want If you lay your money down And lonely sailors do their drinking My my my how the brave men do die And the nightbird sells her pleasures Bringing tears to my eyes See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory Now she's gone So I guess I'll go out walking Lord let the rain keep falling down I guess I'll go chase some memories On the dark side of town See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory Now she's gone
