Love in the Afternoon

	From somewhere outside,
	I hear a Street vendor cry: “
	Filet gumbo!”
	From my window
	I see him, going
	Down the street and he don't know
	That we fell right to sleep
	In the damp tangled sheets so soon
	After love in the hot afternoon
	Now the bourbon street lady
	Sleeps like a baby in the shadows (In the shadows)
	She was new to me, full of mystery
	But now I know (but know I know)
	That she's just a girl
	And I'm just a guy, in a room
	For love in the hot afternoon
	We got high in the park
	This morning and we sat, without talkin'
	Then she came back here
	In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
	Where under her breath
	She hummed to herself a tune
	Of love in the hot afternoon
