I met a man down in New Orleans Singing his heart out on Bourbon St And the passers by, they would sometimes stop And drop him a coin in his thank you box So he told them a tale Of a love he had lost And after these years he's still counting the cost Etched on his face were the bruises and the blows So he sings his heart out to comfort his soul My heart's breaking and I just don't know It's my love she's taken and I can't let go The pain of loss isn't easy to fix When losing her wasn't part of the mix
Well the longer I listened Well the more I learned Of the life he'd led and the bridges he'd burned Those he had loved had all been and gone Now all he had left was this melancholy song My heart's breaking and I just don't know It's my love she's taken and I can't let go The pain of love isn't easy to fix When losing her wasn't part of the mix
My heart's breaking and I just don't know It's my love she's taken and I can't let go The pain of loss isn't easy to fix When losing her wasn't part of the mix
