Theres a house on the edge of town Filled with things that we left around Empty bottles and broken mirrors Trying hard just to disappear Theres 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 Theres a voice when it comes to me Breaks my heart with its melody Growing stronger with every hour Coming down from your broken tower Theres a house on an empty lot Overgrown with forgetmenots 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 youve 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 Theres no one left to run to In this watershed town So come to me dirty With the world hung on your shoulders And well 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 youve done to me Left my love down in New Orleans I wanted you
