|
Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered, "Amen" |
|
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again |
|
Twenty years married and she never thought twice |
|
She slipped out of the back door and into the night |
|
And silver wings carried her over the sea |
|
From the west coast of |
|
Ireland to west |
|
TennesseeTo be with her sweetheart she left everything |
|
She went from |
|
Galway to |
|
Graceland to be with the king |
|
She was humming "Suspicion", the song she loved best |
|
She had "Elvis, I love you" tattooed on her breast |
|
When they landed in |
|
Memphis her heart beat so fast |
|
She had dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last |
|
And she knelt by his graveside day after day |
|
And come closing time they would pull her away |
|
To be with her sweetheart, she left everything |
|
She went from |
|
Galway to |
|
Graceland to be with the king |
|
In their thousands they came from the whole human race |
|
Just to pay their respects at his last resting place |
|
But blindly she knelt there and she told him her dreams |
|
And she thought that he answered her, or that's how it seemed |
|
And when they dragged her away, it was handcuffs this time |
|
She said, "My dear man, are you out of your mind?Don't you know that we're married? See, I'm wearing his ring?I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the kingI've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the king" |
