Lisa Marie Presley Lyrics. "Lights Out". 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. That's where my family's buried and gone. Last time I was there I noticed a space left.
