Christmas In New Orleans
It's Christmas time Here in New Orleans The streets are all empty But for we three Queens Who follow the fire Of an old guitar That burns so bright Over the local bar I know you told me girl Why do you let them see you cry? Look away, look away like me And your crowd went wild Who can say what breaks inside? Me I woke up in the wings And I still can't recognize This sound my scars make When I sing How could you explain A life as crazy as ours? How would I explain a love That fell down from the stars And burned a light into the dark That was my life for a while... Songtexte And now you wake up again In that old black hat Another dream of me Bet you don't tell her that Now you roll over Turn and smell her hair You know, it's warm down here For Christmas We all hope you're cold up there How do we explain a time As crazy as ours? How do you explain a love That fell down from the stars And burned a light Into the dark? That was my life For a while... So when you're lost out here On the Other Side of Desire Come on in and warm your hands On our eternal fire We're all drinking and singing songs Full of Christmas cheer And every ghost there at the bar Wishes that you were here Aus Songtexte Mania
