Romeo Returns To Memphis
Alan Guno

Here at this old country house once grew the sweetest rose
Light breaks through the window there it’s secret left untold
FamIly portraits still in place and gazing out at me
Standin on this dark front porch beneath this balcony


Visions, apparitions
Grace the mist but guard the door
They see, they condemn me
Like before


And when the rains return to Memphis
They conjure up the ghosts of time
Just star-crossed lovers we were restless
Back when my fairest sun still shined


Outside this house of pain and passion
Emotions still recall the storm
Our love is locked behind these walls still
Your Romeo stands here alone


A story on the west side like that tale from long ago
Sweetest sorrow poisons love when blood is all they know
And they would flee a family affirm what no one would
Racing to a desperate end cuz no one understood


Years gone, still my tears fall
For my love who lives no more
They see, and they blame me
Like before


And when the rains return to Memphis
They conjure up the ghosts of time
Just star-crossed lovers we were restless
Back when my fairest sun still shined


Outside this house of pain and passion
Emotions still recall the storm
Your Romeo can hear your voice still:
Wherefore art thou? Im here alone


Tragic in their magic
Id rather die and play their parts
Because then, Wed be like them
Not apart


And when the rains return to Memphis
They conjure up the ghosts of time
Just star-crossed lovers we were restless
Back when my fairest sun still shined


Outside this house of pain and passion
Emotions still recall the storm
Our love is locked behind these walls still
Your Romeo stands here alone


And Ill forever hear your voice still:
Wherefore art thou?- Im here alone
