Beans On Toast Nola Honeymoon
Well I've never missed you quite as much as I did that night in New Orleans
In The Spotted Cat on Frenchmen Street, you should have heard this woman sing
Transported to a timeless place where everything was magical
And baby all it made me do is think about you
You're 20,000 miles away, probably getting up for work
I'm woken by a saxaphone on the other side of the world
It feels like you can hear me as I propose my love to you
I'm coming home tomorrow and I've got something that I wanna ask you
And we'll eat oysters and crawfish and seafood all day and we'll dance all evening
Make love all night in a cheap motel on the banks of the Mississippi
Well I'm coming home tomorrow with a question for you
I'd like to bring you back here one day
For a New Orleans honeymoon
I know that you would love it here, the city would look good on you
Catch a necklace from the sky, fear the wind and feel the voodoo
Playful, proud and positive, the daughter of a summers day
They'll be dancing in the street the minute that the brass band plays
A song about the number, is it 51 or 46
It doesn't really matter 'cause the song belongs to both of us
It's written in the river and you can hear it when the buskers sing
I'll love you forever and that's why I'm bringing home a ring
And we'll eat oysters and crawfish and seafood all day and we'll dance all evening
Make love all night in a cheap motel on the banks of the Mississippi
Well I'm coming home tomorrow with a question for you
I'd like to bring you back here one day
For a New Orleans honeymoon
Well I bought this ring on Royal Street from a little family jewellery shop
Reminds me of the perfumery in my favourite Tom Robbins book
With Alobar and Kudra and a love that is immortal
So if you choose to wear it that's exactly what it stands for
Through live and death and space and time, comedy and tragedy
I'll love you forever baby, but will you marry me?
And we'll eat oysters and crawfish and seafood all day and we'll dance all evening
Make love all night in a cheap motel on the banks of the Mississippi
Well I'm coming home tomorrow with a question for you
I'd like to bring you back here as my wife
On a New Orleans honeymoon
