"Lights Of Lousianne" lyrics

"Lights Of Lousianne"

One summer night he'll light a lantern
He'll catch a tiny firefly in a jar
Set her dancing on the mantle
Like a piece of star

See how the boy lays low
He wants the shiver in her wing
See him hiding in the willow
Playing with lightning

You don't know me
I don't know you
And the summer's come again
My oh my, the sparks are flyin'
All over Lousianne

There's lots of fishes in the sea
I swear I'm gonna catch one in my hand
Make him dance for me
In the fryin' pan

You don't know me
I don't know you
And the summer's come again
My oh my, the fish are flyin'
All over Lousianne

In your eyes there's a light
It comes and it goes without a sound
If I hold on tight
It's gonna burn me to the ground

You don't know me
I don't know you
And the summer's come again
My oh my, the sparks are flyin'
All over Lousianne
Our lives go by like sparks are flyin'
All over Lousianne
