N'Orleans Town

from talkin' paradox blues by Jesse O'Neill

lyrics

Tuesday at midnight, the carnival's last rite, the cavalry's closing us down
Cold turkey in winter, Ash Wednesday's for sinners, Thursday's for lovers and clowns
Long drive through the Deep South where people are free now, but my love is nowhere to be found
There's a note on the doorway, you can't have it your way
Can't breathe life into what I've drowned
Stop over in Shreveport, a last second retort, a cold winter's bleakness on hold
Carnival in the rear view, few years since the clear truth,
years since the love that I'd hold
It's a cold Easter Sunday it's been raining since Monday, a lifetime since we were reborn
Harsh glare from the bar lights, forty slayed white knights, forty days wear for the worn
A candle retires, a blond queens conspires, a pawn sacrifices to mourn
A new day is coming to wash and dry something that never should ever be torn

Come with me brother, come with me sister; take me back to N'Orleans Town
Come with me brother, come with me sister; don't let me lose what I've found
