Your Memory Lives In New Orleans
Collection
Oh where are you now All I have left of you are these memories You couldn't find a way out of here A lost soul drowned in the rising waters of the tide A city swept away God was supposed to conquer the mighty storm That took your life that day
The heavens opened up with rain Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Your memory remains Muddy water fills the streets Night falls, death shadows over humanity I stand alone, in the midst of New Orleans Holding on to your memory For all that remains within the fears and tears
A ghost town comes to life Somewhere among the clouds above You will reign in glory My loss is surely heaven's gain
Your spirit is still here It will always be near Somewhere amongst the war zone Of a frightening site left seen Someday in my memory You will walk amongst rebuilt streets Of New Orleans
