There's a moon over bourbon street tonight |
| [00:06.33] |
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight |
| [00:15.26] |
I've no choice but to follow that call |
| [00:20.52] |
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all |
| [00:30.12] |
I pray everyday to be strong |
| [00:37.20] |
For I know what I do must be wrong |
| [00:45.49] |
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [00:52.89] |
While there's a moon over bourbon street |
| [01:12.80] |
It was many years ago that I became what I am |
| [01:19.88] |
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb |
| [01:27.29] |
Now I can never show my face at noon |
| [01:33.87] |
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon |
| [01:43.10] |
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast |
| [01:50.12] |
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest |
| [01:56.78] |
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [02:05.00] |
While there's a moon over bourbon street |
| [02:13.56] |
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans |
| [02:54.73] |
She's innocent and young from a family of means |
| [03:02.14] |
I have stood many times outside her window at night |
| [03:08.92] |
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight |
| [03:18.28] |
How could I be this way when I pray to god above |
| [03:25.03] |
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love |
| [03:32.50] |
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet |
| [03:40.15] |
While there's a moon over bourbon street |
