Graceland
Journey to Graceland: Unveiling Love's Windows
Lyrics
The Mississippi Delta was shining
The Mississippi Delta, a region, is radiant or gleaming.
Like a National guitar
Comparing the Delta's shine to a National guitar, symbolizing music and culture.
I am following the river down the highway
Traveling along the river on the highway.
Through the cradle of the civil war
Passing through the birthplace of the Civil War.
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
Expressing the journey to Graceland in Memphis with diverse companions.
In Memphis, Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland
-Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
-And we are going to Graceland
-My traveling companion is nine years old
Introducing a nine-year-old companion and anticipating acceptance in Graceland.
He is the child of my first marriage
-But I've reason to believe
-We both will be received in Graceland
-She comes back to tell me she's gone
Reflecting on a past relationship, acknowledging the pain of lost love.
As if I didn't know that
-As if I didn't know my own bed
-As if I'd never noticed
-The way she brushed her
-Hair from her forehead
-And she said losing love
-Is like a window in your heart
-Everybody sees you're blown apart
-Everybody sees the wind blow
-I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
Reiterating the journey to Graceland with a focus on shared experiences.
In Memphis, Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland
-Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
-And we are going to Graceland
-And my traveling companions are
Acknowledging the presence of ghosts but expressing hope for acceptance in Graceland.
Ghosts and empty sockets
-I'm looking at ghosts and empties
-But I've reason to believe
-We all will be received in Graceland
-There is a girl in New York City
Introducing a girl in NYC, drawing parallels between falling in love and bouncing into Graceland.
Who calls herself the human trampoline
-And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
-Or tumbling in turmoil I say
-Whoa, so this is what she means
-She means we're bouncing into Graceland
-And I see losing love
-Is like a window in your heart
-Everybody sees you're blown apart
-Everybody feels the wind blow
-In Graceland, Graceland
Stating a desire to visit Graceland for inexplicable reasons, contemplating love and its complexities.
I'm going to Graceland
-For reasons I cannot explain
-There's some part of me
-Wants to see Graceland
-And I may be obliged to defend
-Every love, every ending
-Or maybe there's no obligations now
-Maybe I've a reason to believe
-We all will be received in Graceland
-Woah, in Graceland, Graceland, Graceland
Repeating the anticipation of going to Graceland with a sense of wonder and expectation.
I'm going to Graceland
