[00:09.01]I met a man down in New Orleans
[00:13.68]Singing his heart out on Bourbon St
[00:17.68]And the passers by, they would sometimes stop
[00:21.21]And drop him a coin in his thank you box
[00:25.36]So he told them a tale
[00:27.21]Of a love he had lost
[00:29.64]And after these years he's still counting the cost
[00:33.75]Etched on his face were the bruises and the blows
[00:38.00]So he sings his heart out to comfort his soul
[00:42.03]My heart's breaking and I just don't know
[00:46.08]It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
[00:50.10]The pain of loss isn't easy to fix
[00:54.56]When losing her wasn't part of the mix
[01:00.29]
[01:07.08]Well the longer I listened
[01:09.17]Well the more I learned
[01:11.10]Of the life he'd led and the bridges he'd burned
[01:15.18]Those he had loved had all been and gone
[01:19.64]Now all he had left was this melancholy song
[01:23.98]My heart's breaking and I just don't know
[01:27.77]It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
[01:31.89]The pain of love isn't easy to fix
[01:36.31]When losing her wasn't part of the mix
[01:42.66]
[02:05.75]My heart's breaking and I just don't know
[02:09.56]It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
[02:13.61]The pain of loss isn't easy to fix
[02:17.95]When losing her wasn't part of the mix
[02:28.03]
