From somewhere outside, I hear
the street vendor cry 'filet gumbo'
From my window I see him, going down the street
And he don't know that she fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon
Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(in the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery,
But now I know (I know)
That she's just a girl,
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot afternoon
We got high in the park this morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then we came back here, in the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
Where under her breath, she hummed to herself a tune,
of love in the hot afternoon
Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(in the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery,
But now I know (I know)
That she's just a girl,
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot afternoon
