about

the story: “My family told stories of Elvis & Graceland as though they spent their youth romping the grounds in Memphis. Their love was true even if the stories weren’t. There may be 1000 songs about Graceland; here’s another guided tour.” –Rachel Gibson

lyrics

Water falls on a jungle scene
T.C.B., a movie screen
Dining room for every feast
Kitchen of white in which to eat
Video Screens, a royal view
Wary eyes, blue suede shoes

Shining spotlight, a royal life
Land of Grace, nowhere to hide
Throne of burden, too great to bear
Homage to the king. You’ll find him there.
Land of grace, behind the gates
Memories trace, back to Graceland

A music room for every hit
A baby grand at which to sit
Carpet white, muse tonight
Curtains gold, behind he hides
Mirrors ahead. Royals to see.
Land of Memphis, graceful were we

Shining spotlight, a royal life
Land of Grace, nowhere to hide
Throne of burden, too great to bear
Homage to the king. You’ll find him there.
Land of grace, behind the gates
Memories trace, back to Graceland

Royalty, behind the gates
White house, guarded gate
Public face, private side
For a King, room to hide
Gates of note, left behind
In a state of grace, forever he lies
Forever he lies

Shining spotlight, a royal life
Land of Grace, nowhere to hide
Throne of burden, too great to bear
Homage to the king. You’ll find him there.
Land of grace, behind the gates
Memories trace, back to Graceland
Back to Graceland
Back to Graceland
