Moon Over Bourbon Street - Doris Cales/German Kucich/Juanma Barroso/Reinier "Negron" Helizarde
There's a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale moonlight
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 it 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 moon
The brim of my hat
Hides the eyes of a beast
Other 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 moon while there's 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
The 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
That I love
You'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street
