"Maybe It Was Memphis" by Pam Tillis - Redone for Eberron

Looking at you through the misty moonlight
Katydids sing like a symphony
Soft rain falling like a Brellish lullaby
Melody blowing through a willow tree

What was I supposed to do,
standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy, far from home...

Maybe it was Menthis.
Maybe it was Sharn summer nights
Maybe it was you,
Maybe it was me, but it sure felt right.

Read about you in an Ajuran novel
Saw you once in a Phiarlan play
Heard about you in a Cyran love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away

What was I supposed to do,
standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy, far from home...

Maybe it was Menthis.
Maybe it was Sharn summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
but it sure felt right.

Every night now since I've been back home
I lie awake drifting in the memory
I think about you and our walk home in the rain,
Talking that way, so softly...
