Since yesterday
I've been trying to forget
Your dark familiar way
You were still asleep
I left a note by the window
And disappeared down Bourbon St.
In your bed we became lovers
To escape the world
You tortured me instead
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
I left my dress and my rosary
My good friend, my bitter enemy
Forgive me, forgive me
My love, forgive me
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
The moon bears its yellow light
You stand in the doorway of every house I pass tonight
when the sun appears you drift away
The sick rose of the day
I left my dress and my rosary
My good friend, my bitter enemy
Forgive me, forgive me
My love, forgive me
In your bed we escaped the world
You tortured me instead
In your bed we escaped the world
You tortured me instead
Have you gone away
Have you gone away
Have you gone away, away
I've been trying to forget
Your dark familiar way
You were still asleep
I left a note by the window
And disappeared down Bourbon St.
In your bed we became lovers
To escape the world
You tortured me instead
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
I left my dress and my rosary
My good friend, my bitter enemy
Forgive me, forgive me
My love, forgive me
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
In your bed we became lovers
You tortured me instead
The moon bears its yellow light
You stand in the doorway of every house I pass tonight
when the sun appears you drift away
The sick rose of the day
I left my dress and my rosary
My good friend, my bitter enemy
Forgive me, forgive me
My love, forgive me
In your bed we escaped the world
You tortured me instead
In your bed we escaped the world
You tortured me instead
Have you gone away
Have you gone away
Have you gone away, away
