I went down, on my knees...
to sing a hymn for you
enchanted memories
are so rare to find,
these days, so humble
yet...
you've been on my mind...
I've seen lifted legs shift,
in a skirt so tight
oh my oh my... girl
you turn me left and right
with ease, smoke and rum
your steps, so soft and light
when you laugh so happily
I twist and turn,
still trying to breathe
once more
but my hands they will not rest
untill you close on me
Your skin so soft
and tenderly
you glow beneath a tree
I wish I was a gamblin man
to go down to New Orleans
and smile on all I see
cause you... girl
are on my mind
there's still time
to get aquinted
yet... you turn
so swift away
I guess it's my chains you see
twisted broken bones and scars
a lump of dirty bloody ragged clothes
hanging beneath a tree...
and the rising Sun
Oh, but your eyes they shine,
teeth so white...
glimmering pearls
I guess you're not for me,
atleast
a dream to good to be true
With a kiss, you dance away
bringing the heat...
and the rising sun
in my eyes, you linger still
warm against my skin
almost as black
as you...
