About the Artist
Lyrics
The day since I met her I can't believe it's true She came here from Memphis Across the ocean sailing and I saw her And I pleaded, "Why do you come so far?" And she said Trying to get to you How I tried to get to you Trying to get to you I'm sending a letter I'll send it right to you I'll send it to Memphis I know that someday everything I needed and I wanted Used to be that my head was haunted And all these sirens They make me mad And all this violence It brings me down I feel strong, I feel lucky Trying to get to you Said I'm gonna get to you Trying to get to you
