Year Down In New Orleans Lyrics

I truly need a year down in New Orleans

The hum of a southern drawl that I could understand

And should you meet my sweetheart in New Orleans

Kindly pass my heart into the safety of his hands

I remember clover in the fields south of New Orleans

And we ran so blindly through the roads of summer cane

Now when I'm lonely I send my heart down to New Orleans

To chase my memories alone down through my dreams

How I miss the clarity I left there in my youth

Will there be another heart who can endure my solitude?

His roses grow so lovely in New Orleans

Their petals do recall the mysteries in his eyes

So should you go to that garden in New Orleans

Kindly tend a rose beside his heart for me and sigh
