theres a moon over bourbon street tonight |
| [00:06.83] |
i see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight |
| [00:15.76] |
ive no choice but to follow that call |
| [00:21.02] |
the bright lights, the people, and the moon and all |
| [00:30.62] |
i pray everyday to be strong |
| [00:37.70] |
for i know what i do must be wrong |
| [00:45.99] |
oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [00:53.39] |
while theres a moon over bourbon street |
| [01:13.30] |
it was many years ago that i became what i am |
| [01:20.38] |
i was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb |
| [01:27.79] |
now i can never show my face at noon |
| [01:34.37] |
and youll only see me walking by the light of the moon |
| [01:43.60] |
the brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast |
| [01:50.62] |
ive the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest |
| [01:57.28] |
oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [02:05.50] |
while theres a moon over bourbon street |
| [02:14.06] |
she walks everyday through the streets of new orleans |
| [02:55.23] |
shes innocent and young from a family of means |
| [03:02.64] |
i have stood many times outside her window at night |
| [03:09.42] |
to struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight |
| [03:18.78] |
how could i be this way when i pray to god above |
| [03:25.53] |
i must love what i destroy and destroy the thing i love |
| [03:33.00] |
oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [03:40.65] |
while theres a moon over bourbon street |
