Sting - Moon Over Bourbon Street Lyrics
Theres a moon over bourbon street tonightI see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplightIve 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 youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile theres a moon over bourbon streetIt was many years ago that I became what I amI was trapped in this life like an innocent lambNow I can only show my face at noonAnd youll only see me walking by the light of the moonThe brim of my hat hides the eye of a beastIve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priestOh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile theres a moon over bourbon streetShe walks everyday through the streets of new orleansShes innocent and young from a family of meansI have stood many times outside her window at nightTo struggle with my instinct in the pale moon lightHow could I be this way when I pray to God aboveI must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I loveOh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feetWhile theres a moon over bourbon street
