Moon Over Bourbon Street Songtext
von Winterplay

There′s a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamp light
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong

Oh, you′ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street


It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I′ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest

Oh, you′ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street

He walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
He′s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside the window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love

Oh, you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there′s a moon over bourbon street

All night, moon over bourbon street, I dream
All night, moon over bourbon street, I feel
