Wish This Was New Orleans Lyrics – Pert Near Sandstone
Singer: Pert Near Sandstone
Title: Wish This Was New Orleans
My day is just like yours counting big hands on hours
Pulling open all the same old doors
We can’t separate from the ticking of the day
Or the future moments that are slipping away
I wish I was in New Orleans beneath the trees of green
Swaddled in the mossy reaches of her river dream
When that wind whips up and is blowing down the street
I can hear the band is playing joyful melodies
Wish this was New Orleans
This could New Orleans
This should be you and me
Down in New Orleans
I walked to the railroad I looked еast & I looked west
I walked back homе and then I tidied up my nest
July got me excited but August wasn’t good
September came and went the way I wish October would
If this were New Orleans I’d be recording inventory
Of her soft property written on tender leaves
Give me vegetation enough to get lost in
To wallow in her vision while she’s blossoming
Salt over the shoulder for better days to come
Dropped a coin on the sidewalk and left it for a bum
My feathers have been plucked amd I’m running out of years
Clothes have been folded but I can’t get out of here
If I were in Vieux Carre I’d wear my nice hat everyday
I’d spend my free time wandering the promenade
Dancing with parades down the cobblestone lanes
In the warm winter sun and the cool summer rain
{Chorus} x2
