Ma allora questa ad AmicaB piace

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
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

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
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

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
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

  2. N: e che c'entra scusa!? Non si era detto che abbiamo gusti completamente diversi? Comunque sì, mi piace, ma non mi ci strappo i capelli. Di quell'album ho un'insana passione per "Shadows in the rain". :)

  4. Beh, a me fa piace un casino. Lo so che non ve ne frega niente, ma è che mentre leggo il post ho in sottofondo Sting che la canta dal vivo nel 2001 in Toscana. Son casi.
