Love In The Hot Afternoon

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 (now I know)

That she's just a girl

And I'm just a guy, in a room

Full of 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

Full of love in the hot afternoon
