Adam Wheatley - Goodnight New Orleans lyrics

rate me

Goodnight New Orleans

You took me in and took me down

Wish I had known

I wanted nothing more

Than to see your sunrise open up my eyes

But the day won't come

Love only rides on hope so long

Before there's work to be done

Goodnight New Orleans

Saint Charles is fading from my mind

No, you're not my home

Your sky was burning

With colors that have paled to black and white

Yeah, your fire is gone

Love only rides on hope so long

Before there's work to be done

Goodnight New Orleans

I'm leaving Jackson Square behind

No, I won't come around

Love only rides on hope so long

Before there's work to be done

Time keeps on singing me her song

I guess ours is gone
