West Memphis Moon

歌詞

Yellow tape along the river's edge Helicopters circling overhead Three little boys coming home from school Gone forever 'neath the Memphis moon Well the sheriff jumped on me - yes he did Leaned on me til I cried and begged I cried for my mother, never felt so alone The dawn was breaking and my will was gone (Really gone) They said, "There's two more boys where you came from You'lI implicate them both before we're done We want that Echols boy with the moody eyes He and that peach-faced kid by his side" (Along for the ride) The trial was over soon as it begun The truth's still buried out there in the mud Father forgive me, hear what I say Father forgive this walking razor blade Three more boys who should be back in school Gone forever, 'neath the Memphis moon (Really gone) A flicker of hope, a drop of light Mothers' arms reaching in the night
