Jimmie Spheeris Bayou Eyes
Bayou eyes shine in your windows
Cajun black and creole blue
And city gentlemen with perfect teeth
Come to pay your fee and spend the night with you
Wake me up, wake me, come down Toulouse
We'll go running from the night
And out of darkness I will lay you down
And I will drown you in my light
Come down, come down tonight
Leave your silks and silver, come away with me
Your love cuts like a knife
Twisted in the heart of my sanity
Bayou eyes shine in your windows
Cajun black and creole blue
From trestled terraces you wove your spell
And this swamp boy fell in love with you
So throw your bag over the rusty rail
I'll be waiting at the docks
We'll catch a steamboat to the gulf and sail
Where the trade winds wail and the free sea rocks
Come down, come down tonight
Leave your silks and silver, come away with me
Your love cuts like a knife
Twisted in the heart of my sanity
...wake me up, wake me down...
