Moon Over Bourbon Street

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over bourbon street [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
