“Lights out” by Lisa Marie Presley.
Song Lyrics
You were a million miles behind.
And I was crying every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in
Memphis
Ooh, that's where my family's buried and gone (gone)
Oh yeah
Last time I was there, I noticed a space left
Oh, next to them there in Memphis, yeah In the damn back lawn
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
Oh and then the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in
Memphis.

A Quote from Lisa Marie Presley.
Death is part of life whether we like it or not — and so is grieving," she wrote. "There is so much to learn and understand on the subject, but here's what I know so far: One is that grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year or years after the loss. You will have to carry grief for the Rest of your life, despite what certain people or our culture want us to believe. You do not 'get over it,' or move on,' period."
