Some times, when this place gets kin da emp ty,
the sound of the breath fades with the light,
I think a bout
the (F)love less fas ci na tion
un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Low er the cur tain down on Mem phis,
low er the cur tain down on me.
I got no time
for (F)pri vate con sul ta tion
un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Wish I knew what you were (Fmaj7)look ing for,
might have known what you would find.
And it’s some thing quite pe cu liar,
some thing shim mer ing and white.
It leads you here,
de (F)spite your des ti na tion,
un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Wish I knew what you were (Fmaj7)look ing for,
might have known what you would find.
Wish I knew what you were (Fmaj7)look ing for,
might have known what you would find.
Un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Un der the Mil ky Way to night.
