Lyrics
The day since I met her
The time that has passed since I met her
I can't believe it's true
Expressing disbelief in the reality of the situation
She came here from Memphis
She arrived here from Memphis
Across the ocean sailing
Traveling across the ocean to reach this place
And I saw her a I pleaded
I saw her, and I begged or entreated
Why do you come so far and she said
Questioning her reason for coming so far
Trying to get to you
Her response, expressing the purpose of her journey, trying to reach the speaker
How I tried to get you
The speaker's efforts to reach someone
Trying to get you
Continuation of the speaker's attempts to connect
I'm sending a letter
The speaker is composing and sending a letter
I'll send it right to you
The intended recipient of the letter is the person being addressed
I'll send it to Memphis
Specifying the destination of the letter as Memphis
I know that someday
A sense of anticipation for a future event
Everything I needed and I wanted
Desire for fulfillment of needs and wants
Used to be that my head was haunted
Reflecting on a past state where the mind was troubled or preoccupied
And all these sirens they make me mad
Mention of sirens causing agitation or distress
And all this violence it brings me down
The negative impact of violence on the speaker, bringing them down emotionally
I feel strong I feel lucky
Feeling empowered and fortunate despite challenges
Trying to get to you
Continued efforts to reach the addressed person
Said I'm going to get to you
A reaffirmation of the speaker's determination to reach the person
Trying to get to you.
Persisting in the endeavor to connect with the addressed individual
