Barefoot beneath the moon,
the water's dark and cool
I stare up at the stars, the stars
The river's deep, strong and wide
And merciless its evening tide
The Memphis moon, I see it start to rise
I draw a breath and close my eyes
and wonder if this is my time,
Memphis moon it shines on me tonight,
Friends and lovers come slowly,
It's almost like a dream,
There's nothing left but love, just love
The river's deep, strong and wide
And merciless it's evening tide
The Memphis moon, I see it start to rise
I draw a breath and close my eyes
And wonder if this is my time
The Memphis moon, it shines on me
Barefoot beneath the moon,
the water's dark and cool
