If you ever come to Memphis
Down by Poplar Avenue
There's a quiet place I've waited
Hoping someday I'd see you
See there's something left unspoken
That no lover should conceal
And I'm hopin' you will hear it
If you ever come to Memphis
When its springtime in the delta
I imagine that I can
see you slipping through azaleas
With flowers in your hand
You've come all this way to meet me
So I'll know you love me still
In my dreams that's how I'll see it
If you ever come to Memphis
In my life there were some things I should have told you
At the time I might have said I don't know how
Now I see you from a place that lies beyond the world I lived in
And I'm lookin' for a way to tell you now
If you ever come to Memphis
Will you listen to the trees?
Through the veil that lies between us
For a message there from me
They'll be whispering a secret
I could never quite reveal
But I do believe you'll hear it
If you ever come to Memphis
