Song language: English
West Memphis Moon |
| Yellow tape along the river’s edge |
| Helicopters circling overhead |
| Three little boys coming home from school |
| Gone forever 'neath the Memphis moon |
| Well, the sheriff jumped on me, yes, he did |
| Leaned on me till I cried and beg |
| I cried for my mother, never felt so alone |
| The dawn was breaking and my will was gone |
| They said, «There's two more boys where you came from |
| You’ll implicate them both before we’re done |
| We want that Echols boy with the moody eyes |
| He and that peach faced kid by his side» |
| The trial was over soon as it begun |
| The truth still buried out there in the mud |
| Father forgive me, hear what I say |
| Father forgive this walking razor blade |
| Three more boys who should be back in school |
| Gone forever 'neath the Memphis moon |
| (Really gone) |
| A flicker of hope, a drop of light |
| Mothers arms reaching in the night |
