Moon Over Bourbon Street
Sting
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight 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 only 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 She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans She's innocent and young from a family of means I have stood many times outside her window at night To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light 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 Street80s 90s adult contemporary alternative Ballad bass vocal bishide blue blues british british avant garde britpop buena childhood chill out chillout classic classic rock Dark and Fizzy E easy listening elegant fav favorites Fizzy Cocktails in Vegas Float genius good great singer guilty pleasure halloween hamur haunting heartache I love them impossibly excellent irgendwie melancholisch its the words that matter jazz La jazz laid back literary reference live loved Mael male vocalist male vocalists Mellow Memorable Moon Over Bourbon Street my secret spy my stuff nice to hear night No 1 Old Good Music party Playlist pop pop rock Pop-Rock Pop/Rock PopJazz Pop poprock Reflective Retro rock scary seen live semnul meu singer-songwriter sob stuff soft rock sting Sting - moon over bourbon stre swing taxims fave The British are coming top 2000 Top-Hits touching TRHS Class of 1991 turn on the ac unlisted LIVE version vampire vampire songs void with a glass of wine writing music zinczinc4bueno
