lyrics

In New Orleans Louisiana
After Mardi Gras never happened
The aftergloss, it’s love and loss
But for now we’ll clean the streets
Get back to drowning in the heat
And slowing down, partied out

In New Orleans Louisiana
W O Z’s on the morning after
Reminder of a gift of love
Careening in the dance
Acquiescing gust of hands
In every song the beat goes on


With water high and spirits soaring
Lay me down in New Orleans
Warm bed of the river delta … sinking


In New Orleans Louisiana
I lay my burden by the river
And let the heat come over me
And put desire out with will
Make me tired make me still
A steady flow of letting go

--Richard Bates
