I met a man down in New Orleans |
| [00:13.68] |
Singing his heart out on Bourbon St |
| [00:17.68] |
And the passers by, they would sometimes stop |
| [00:21.21] |
And drop him a coin in his thank you box |
| [00:25.36] |
So he told them a tale |
| [00:27.21] |
Of a love he had lost |
| [00:29.64] |
And after these years he's still counting the cost |
| [00:33.75] |
Etched on his face were the bruises and the blows |
| [00:38.00] |
So he sings his heart out to comfort his soul |
| [00:42.03] |
My heart's breaking and I just don't know |
| [00:46.08] |
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go |
| [00:50.10] |
The pain of loss isn't easy to fix |
| [00:54.56] |
When losing her wasn't part of the mix |
| [01:00.29] |
|
| [01:07.08] |
Well the longer I listened |
| [01:09.17] |
Well the more I learned |
| [01:11.10] |
Of the life he'd led and the bridges he'd burned |
| [01:15.18] |
Those he had loved had all been and gone |
| [01:19.64] |
Now all he had left was this melancholy song |
| [01:23.98] |
My heart's breaking and I just don't know |
| [01:27.77] |
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go |
| [01:31.89] |
The pain of love isn't easy to fix |
| [01:36.31] |
When losing her wasn't part of the mix |
| [01:42.66] |
|
| [02:05.75] |
My heart's breaking and I just don't know |
| [02:09.56] |
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go |
| [02:13.61] |
The pain of loss isn't easy to fix |
| [02:17.95] |
When losing her wasn't part of the mix |
| [02:28.03] |
