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 |
