Kate Tucker New Orleans lyrics

There's a house on the edge of town
Filled with things that we left around
Empty bottles and broken mirrors
Trying hard just to disappear

There's a river and its running free
With its own possibility
Throws itself out into the sea
Somewhere outside of New Orleans

I wanted
I wanted you

There's a voice when it comes to me
Breaks my heart with its melody
Growing stronger with every hour
Coming down from your broken tower

There's a house on an empty lot
Overgrown with forget-me-nots
Growing older with every hour
With your arms full of broken flowers

How you gonna walk the streets
With no one there to find you
When the money runs out
How you gonna fall asleep
With no one there to wake you
When the morning comes round
Its coming around

Left my love down in New Orleans
Do you know what you've done to me
Left it all to the Southern rain

All my love on a one way train

In a letter you sent to me
Were the words that would set me free
All my love like a mystery
Do I want you, do you want me

How you gonna walk the streets
With no one there to find you
When the money runs out
How you gonna fall asleep
With no one there to wake you
When the morning comes round
Baby its just you and me
There's no one left to run to
In this watershed town
So come to me dirty
With the world hung on your shoulders
And we'll shake it all down

I wanted
I wanted you

Left my love down in New Orleans
Left my love down in New Orleans
Do you know what you've done to me
Left my love down in New Orleans

I wanted you
