Mud Island

Summer's coming to an end, and to be honest Timmy I don't want to see it go With your strawberry hair and freckles, we were children But that's almost over now And at the western edge of Memphis near the Mississippi Will you ever think of me? And when I'm having happy birthdays on September 14 Will you sing to me from Mud Island Eyes be opened Children time to come in We don't know what we don't know We might could stay a little longer in the summer twilight Then watch it disappear But up above us there the Memphis Bridge sends a shadow To somewhere far from here Mud Island Our eyes are opened Children, children no more, no more No more Somewhere far away from here Far away, I gotta know what I don't know Love is the only thing, love is the on' Love is the only thing, take with you, take with you Love is the only thing, love is the on' Love is the only thing, bring you back, bring you back home Is it the end of summer, or are we just playing grown-up The way that we used to? I know I've never told you this before, but honest Timmy I can't say goodbye to you
