about

This song was written about my Hurricane Katrina experience.

lyrics

Ode to New Orleans

It was a ghost town
The day before the storm came
A haunting horn sound
Drifted past the Esplanade

The hallowed high ground
Hunkered down for the hurricane
The levee fell down
Fortune spared the Vieux Carre'

And we were singing run, run
Run, river, run from the old way
Run, run, run river run to the new day

Jumped a streetcar
Made our way out of New Orleans
Found the north star
And drove all night
From the southern sea

When the water left
The quarter stood on the river bank
Wreckage at its steps
That same old saxophone
Rang and rang

And the golden heart
Of the city survived
Saint Louis cathedral, calming blue skies
When you're living with the river
You know you're alive.

And we were singing run, run
Run, river, run from the old way
Run, run, run river run to the new day

Un chanson por la ville mon ami
