New Orleans Ghost Song

NEW ORLEANS GHOST SONG

00:08

See, I was down in New Orleans -
Louisina, that is
And it was All Hallows Eve
And it was dark

00:22

And you know those New Orleans cemeteries
Everybodys buried above ground
So the bodies don't float out

00:32

Well, I was walking through one of those
Just watching the moon and thinking
And I saw her right about then
In the moonlight
Boy, her hair was flowing -
all mixed up like clouds

00:56

And let me tell ya, it was raining in those eyes
I held out my hand and said come on over girl -
tell me what's wrong.
What can we do about it?
Can we fix it?
Is something broken?
Can we put something right?

1:25

And I looked in her eyes
They were dark as the night-time sky

1:40

I thought, "oh, this ain't good."
I held out my hand to you.
And she walked up to me and right on through.

1:59

I said, "You're a ghost aren't ya?"
And she nodded.
And I said, "I understand your grief now.
Hanging out between these two worlds
Can't be a lot of fun.
See the world you're going to
And the world you're coming from."

2:24

And I held out my hand to you.
And she walked right on through.

2:39

Oh, I thought - this ain't good.
I pulled tight my coat
and pulled down my hood.
And I ran so fast on through -
All the way home, away from you.

3:09

And I think back to that night -
and when I stared into your eyes.
Oh, there was beauty there, too.
When I held out my hand
And you walked on through.
