Lovelight

(M. Kaeshammer/J. Parisian/R. Lopata) Once upon a time in the Bayou I was shakin' up in New Orleans Some old man in a garbage can Turned to me and spilled the beans Said: Pay no mind to my condition I've seen the world far and wide They got treasures here, they got treasures there I carry mine around inside Wherever you go, wherever you go You gotta let that Lovelight burn wherever you go Wherever you go, wherever you go You gotta let that Lovelight burn wherever you go I caught a train up to Memphis Mississippi on my side Preacher man with a southern tan Started getting sanctified Said: A man like me in my position Knows about the golden rule I gave away my possessions And my heart is my only jewel What ya gonna do on the days when the tide is low How you gonna feel in the cold when the four winds blow How will you react when the cracks in your armour grow, grow, grow Let that Lovelight show When I got home it was winter And people out there shovelin' snow But I'm not down that I'm back in town I just called to let you know
