lyrics

And if I come back from New Orleans, what will become of me? I'll clean my brush and then snap it in two. What use has it for me?
And if I come back from New Orleans, what will become of me? I'll rip my canvas to sew up a sail to send me out to sea.

And if I do stay in New Orleans, what will become of me? Three in the bed and the heat to my head with the sounds that never slept.
And if I enter New Orleans, what will this mean for me? I'll stay awake as the rain floods the way that will never allow me to leave.

And if I get out of New Orleans, what will become of me? My skin will wither, all shriveled and dry as all water flows to the sea.
And if I get out of New Orleans, what will become of me? I'll stop my yearning and learn to grow roots just like the mightiest of trees.

And if I come back from New Orleans, what will become of me? I'm worried it's taken me too long to see the point that I've missed.
Because the sun's in my eyes and the wind's in my hair. I'll forgotten every word that I said. So long, all gone, so long.
And I've lost it before. My taste for more. Slow the dance. I'm tripping. I'm stumbling; I fell.
