Moon Over Bourbon Street

Lyrics
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight I see faces as they pass beneath the pale moonlight I've no choice but to follow that call The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all I pray each day to be strong 'Cause 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 I became what I am I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb Now you'll never see my face at noon And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon The brim of my hat hides the eyes of a beast I've got the hands of a sinner and the face 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 He walks every day through the streets of New Orleans He's innocent and young from a family of means I have stood many times outside his window at night And I struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light How could I be this way when I pray to God above I love what I destroy and destroy the things I love
