about

song about a character met in New Orleans

lyrics

Angel of Grace

Well it's dawn by the levy of the Mississippi shore
Here I am knocking at your door
This is where you said you parked your old milk truck
I managed to find it just by luck
Here I am yes it's me
And I been knocking at your window
Coming 'round to see yeah yeah

See where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Well I am new at this here game
Hardly anybody 'round here knows my name
I got lost in this here town
And that's the reason why I come around
New Orleans that's a mighty big place
And you've become a familiar face yeah yeah

And I was wondering where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

I spent some time in an all-night bar
Down on the strip and not so far from here
Hoped Indian Michael might come around
And we could go on a midnight prowl
He's got stories to fill the ears
And poetry he's built on tears yeah yeah

I was wondering where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

I hear you calling out from inside
You're telling me you're not a pretty sight
Oh there you are lying on your bed

Just that close to being nearly dead
Somebody took the boots to your face
You must have had to crawl back
To this place yeah yeah

And I was wondering where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

You know I've never seen anybody this black and blue
I can't imagine how you're gonna pull through
The tears are rolling down my face
You're telling me you're gonna be okay
How did you end up in this place
Calling me your angel of grace yeah yeah

And I was wondering where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
I was wondering where you got to last night
Hoping that you were alright
I never found you though we were due to meet
At Clarity's down on Bourbon Street
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Whoa whoa whoa
