Goodmonster - New Orleans Lyrics

My old friend
It's been too long
I haven't seen you since before the war

I thought you dead
And I as well
Just two more bodies, forgotten
Un bonhomme et mademoiselle

We made plans to meet in New Orleans
Where our song plays on repeat
Where you swept me off my feet
Over and over again, and

After the fire died
I called out your name but you didn't reply
I searched through the ashes all day and night
There was no sign of life
(No sign of life)

I won't forget
The night we spent
By candlelight we planned our fight
We'd make the government regret

And you sat close
I leaned in
You whispered in my ear
"We'll see each other before the end"

I still wonder now what might have been
Had we chosen differently
But our song plays on repeat
Over and over again, and

After the fire died
I called out your name but you didn't reply
I searched through the ashes all day and night
There was no sign of life
No sign of life
No sign of life

My old friend, it's been some time
Since we said our quick goodbyes
We both grew up and set new goals
Raising kids and growing old
But I know you and you know me
And in my mind we'll always be
In New Orleans
Where our song plays on repeat
Over and over again, and

After the fire died
I called out your name but you didn't reply
I searched through the ashes all day and night
There was no sign of life

After the fire died
I called out your name but you didn't reply
