moon over bourbon street (live in arnhem) - sting lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a moon over bourbon street tonight
i see faces as they pass
beneath the pale lamplight
i’ve no choice but to follow that call
the bright lights, the people
and the moon and all
i pray everyday to be strong
for i know what i do must be wrong

[refrain]
oh you’ll never see my shade
or hear the sound of my feet
while there’s a moon over bourbon street

[verse 2]
it was many years ago
that i became what i am
i was trapped in this life
like an innocent lamb
now i can never show my face at noon
and you’ll only see me walking
by the light of the moon
thе brim of my hat
hides the eyе of a beast
i’ve the face of a sinner
but the hands of a priest
[refrain]
oh you’ll never see my shade
or hear the sound of my feet
while there’s a moon over bourbon street

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
she walks everyday through
the streets of new orleans
she’s innocent and young
from a family of means
i have stood many times
outside her window at night
to struggle with my instinct
in the pale moon light
how could i be this way
when i pray to god above
i must love what i destroy
and destroy the thing i love

[outro]
oh you’ll never see my shade
or hear the sound of my feet
while there’s a moon over bourbon street
