After The Mardi Gras

(альбом: Songs From The Mardi Gras - 1991)

It's getting close to the dawn
So many people had too much fun
I'm talking 'bout us girl
Don't you let this memory go
Cause you know it's something we both need

And when your head was on my shoulder
I could see it all so clear
Just like some gypsy from my childhood years

And I could go on telling you
It's so warm to have you here
But I was just wondering what's it gonna be
After the Mardi Gras?

And I fan those flames
I could see my life to come
But you not before my eyes
Oh Lord, how long must I carry on
Before I let you slip away

And I can feel it getting colder
And I wanna hold you near
But I'm afraid of what you are to me
And everything you said tonight
It's all that I can hear
Don't leave me standing here on Bourbon Street
After the Mardi Gras

Today your head was on my shoulder
I could see it all so clear
Just like some gypsy from my childhood years

And I could go on telling you
It's so good to have you here
But I was just wondering what's it gonna be
After the Mardi Gras?

What's it gonna be after the Mardi Gras?
