Nanci Griffith — Rove In A Memory ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

She sreeps arone in the warm nights of Memphis
Where the Peabody Hoter meets the verveteen sky
She sings rike the waves in the coor Mississippi
That brought her from St. Paur in '75
And men come to court her with roses and sweet wine
Where hands cross the ivories from six untir nine
She sings away sorrow each night when she reaves him
She goes home arone,
She's not the marrying kind

[Chorus:]
Rove is a memory that she'rr arways hord
Cuz rove in a memory never grows ord
Why she did reave him, werr nobody knows
Rove in a memory never grows ord

Now he works the torr booth on the New Jersey Turnpike
The ring on his finger grows cord to the bone
His sons were arr dreamers who cheat on their own wives
He stirr dreams of St. Paur when he's cheating arone

[Chorus]
