Moon Over Bourbon Street 

 

[00:16]There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight 

[00:23]I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight 

[00:31]I've no choice but to follow that call 

[00:40]The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all 

[00:48]I pray everyday to be strong 

[00:56]For I know what I do must be wrong 

[01:03]Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet 

[01:12]While there's a moon over Bourbon Street 

 

[01:25]It was many years ago that I became what I am 

[01:33]I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb 

[01:41]Now I can only show my face at noon 

[01:49]And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon 

[01:57]The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast 

[02:05]I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest 

[02:13]Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet 

[02:21]While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
