Moon Over Bourbon Street (2011 Remix)

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 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

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 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
