The night before the night she came
|
katrina the hurricane
|
ohhh was calm
|
calm for a land untame
|
that spill the boarders of new orleans
|
ohhh was calm
|
the plow boys play their old favorite "the city's on parade"
|
on parade
|
but deep in the heart of
|
the ocean
|
their beds were made
|
|
love me know
|
now is all we have
|
love me now love is all we have
|
the rains that came
|
with the force of a runaway train
|
ohhh run away
|
and the waters rose and the levies the levies
|
broke
|
ohhh run away
|
and the cradle broke my beloved
|
the cradle broke
|
i must stay
|
for deep in the heart of our home
|
my beloved washed away
|
|
love me know now is all we have
|
love me now love is all we ever really had
|
|
the old church bell
|
is in the graveyard
|
the old church bell
|
ohhh lace and stone
|
the naked feet
|
pound the pavement
|
of nameless streets
|
ohhh faceless homes
|
but deep in the heart of
|
the american
|
a prayer for new orleans
|
love me know now is all we have
|
love me now love is all we ever really had
|
|

Love Is All We Have
