|
The night before the night she came |
|
Katrina the hurricane |
|
Ohhh was calm |
|
Calm for a land untame |
|
That spill the boarders of New Orleans |
|
Ohhh was calm |
|
The plow boys play their old favorite |
|
"The city's on parade" |
|
On parade |
|
But deep in the heart |
|
Of the ocean |
|
Their beds were made |
|
Love me know |
|
Now is all we have |
|
Love me now |
|
Love is all we have |
|
The rains that came |
|
With the force of a runaway train |
|
Ohhh, run away |
|
And the waters rose |
|
And the levies the levies broke |
|
Ohhh, run away |
|
And the cradle broke my beloved |
|
The cradle broke |
|
I must stay |
|
For deep in the heart of our home |
|
My beloved washed away |
|
Love me know |
|
Now is all we have |
|
Love me now |
|
Love is all |
|
We ever really had |
|
The old church bell |
|
Is in the graveyard |
|
The old church bell |
|
Ohhh, lace and stone |
|
The naked feet |
|
Pound the pavement |
|
Of nameless streets |
|
Ohhh, faceless homes |
|
But deep in the heart |
|
Of the american |
|
A prayer for new orleans |
|
Love me know |
|
Now is all we have |
|
Love me now |
|
Love is all we ever really had |
