There's a moon over Bourbon Street

Tonight

I see faces as they pass beneath the

That call

The bright lights, the people,

And the moon and all

I pray every day

To be strong

For I know what I do

Must be wrong

     Fm       Fm/E   Fm/Eb  Fm/D
That I became what I am

I was trapped in this life

Like an innocent lamb

Now I never show my face

At noon

And you'll only see me walking

By the light of the moon
    Gm7b5      C7
The brim of my hat

Hides the eye  of a beast

I've the face of a sinner

But the hands of a priest

From a family of means

I have stood many times

Outside her window at night

To struggle with my instinct
