I've been riding the streetcar all night Beneath electricity's light We used to do this on nights When the money was tight Now all I've got is a ghost of a dream Close my eyes to see Bite my lip to speak I've been drunk in the Marigny every night Since my lover left New Orleans Her records are glued to my walls Her books collect dust on the shelf With her cheap jewelry and her letters to me I lay tangled in her sheets Close my eyes to see Bite my lip to speak I've been drunk in the Marigny every night Since my lover left New Orleans It's snowing in some Northern town Where she went so she wouldn't be found She called me up on Christmas Eve She didn't say a word I could barely hear her breathe She closed her eyes to see She bit her lip to speak She's been running from something she couldn't describe On the night she could not sleep Happy Christmas Eve Come back now to me I've been drunk in the Marigny every night Since my lover left New Orleans |
