Moon over Bourbon Street
Sting
Lyrics:
There's a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplightI've no choice but to follow that callThe bright lights the people and the moon and allI pray everyday to be strongFor I know what I do must be wrongOh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there's a moon over bourbon street
It was many years ago that I became what I amI was trapped in this life like an innocent lambNow I can never show my face at noonAnd you'll only see me walking by the light of the moonThe brim of my hat hides the eye of a beastI've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priestOh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there's a moon over bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of New OrleansShe's innocent and young from a family of meansI have stood many times outside her window at nightTo struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlightHow could I be this way when I pray to god aboveI must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I loveOh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile there's a moon over bourbon street
