saints and angels in new orleans

Lyrics

come back again, old new orleans, come back again, old city of our dreams, we will return, our hearts will win the fight, we'll see the saints and angels dancing through the night, we will return to our homes again, gulfport, biloxi and slidell, and as for those who could not help us just to live, we'll try to find it in our hearts just to forgive, they laid down hope and walked it like a road, picked up their memories of voodoo and of god, through vampire days, the nightmare would not sleep, the retribution and the promises will keep, the hearts still beat, the ghosts are out tonight, along the pontchartrain the moon is shining bright, crepe myrtle trees are swaying in the air, the train of satin moves like silk upon the stair, come back again, old new orleans, come back again, old city of our dreams, we will return, our hearts will win the fight, we'll see the saints and angels dancing through the night, we'll see the saints and angels dancing through the night, we'll see the saints and angels shimmer in the light, in new orleans, in new orleans, in new orleans
