New Orleans

(アルバム： Wide Awake - 2016)

Wake up
I run up to the window
She's standing on the corner
And motions me to follow
I see her in her red shoes
I slip out of the front door
And she starts up her car

She drives
We're heading for the city
That's swimming in her bloodstream
That's pulsing in her heartbeat
I feel it washing over her
As she turns onto Canal street
She's wide awake again

Ooooh ya
She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
Ooooh, Ooooh
Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans

We're running by the river
The city lights are blazing
She looks like she could fly off
Like gravity is failing
Somewhere in the distance
A marching band is playing
She's wide awake again

Ooooh ya
She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
Ooooh, Ooooh
Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans

Oh, and something in her eyes that I've never seen
When she says to me
"I'm wide awake again"
Ooooh ya
There's magic in the night down in New Orleans

Take me down to the water
Take me down to the water (New Orleans)
Take me down to the water

No I've never had it figured out
Just a maze I've never known
And suddenly it's making sense
When she shows me all
The roses in the sidewalks
Like angels at her feet
And they're breaking through the pavement
To light her away through New Orleans
Oh, through New Orleans

Ooooh ya
She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
Ooooh, Ooooh
Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans
And oh, it's something in her eyes that I've never seen
When she says to me
"I'm wide awake again"
Ooooh ya
There's magic in the night down in New Orleans

Take me down to the water
Take me down to the water (New Orleans)
Take me down to the water
Take me down to the water
Take me down to the water (New Orleans)
