the night before the night she came
katrina the hurricane
ohhhh was calm
calm for a land untame
that spill the boarders of new orleans
ohhhh was calm
the plow boys played their old favorite "the city's on parade"
on parade
but deep in the heart of
the ocean
their beds were made
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
and the rains that came
with the force of a runaway train
ohhh run away
and the waters rose and the levees the levees
broke
ohhh run away
and the cradle broke my beloved
the cradle broke
oh i must stay
for deep in the heart of
our home
my beloved was washed away
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we ever really had
the old church bell
is in the graveyard
the old church bell
ohhh lace and stone
the naked feet
pound the pavement
of nameless streets
ohhh faceless homes
but deep in the heart of
the american
prayers for new orleans
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we have
love me now
love is all we ever really had
