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
