1
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
2
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
3
I've no choice but to follow that call
4
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
5
I pray everyday to be strong
6
For I know what I do must be wrong
7
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
8
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
9
It was many years ago that I became what I am
10
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
11
Now I can never show my face at noon
12
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
13
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
14
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
15
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
16
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
17
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
18
She's innocent and young, from a family of means
19
I have stood many times outside her window at night
20
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
21
How could I be this way when I pray to God above?
22
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
23
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
24
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
