Verse 1:
Under the neon lights, I remember your face,
Memphis in summer, lost in time and space.
The rhythm of the blues, a haunting, sweet refrain,
But you’re miles away, and it’s driving me insane.
Chorus:
On Beale Street, where our laughter used to play,
Now it echoes in the night, but you’re so far away.
Unrequited love under the southern stars,
I’m here drowning in dreams, while you’re chasing your own scars.
Verse 2:
We walked hand in hand, down that old cobblestone,
Each step a memory etched deep in my bones.
You danced with the shadows, I watched from afar,
A love like a melody that never reached the guitar.
Chorus:
On Beale Street, where our laughter used to play,
Now it echoes in the night, but you’re so far away.
Unrequited love under the southern stars,
I’m here drowning in dreams, while you’re chasing your own scars.
Bridge:
I sent my heart on the river, hoping it would find,
The path to your heart, but it’s just a reckless bind.
You’re in Memphis, where the blues come alive,
While I’m just a whisper, wishing to survive.
Chorus:
On Beale Street, where our laughter used to play,
Now it echoes in the night, but you’re so far away.
Unrequited love under the southern stars,
I’m here drowning in dreams, while you’re chasing your own scars.
Outro:
So here’s to the nights, I’ll never forget,
A song in my heart, a love that’s not set.
On Beale Street I wander, in search of a sign,
Wishing you’d be here, to turn the water to wine.
