Depressed in New Orleans
Oblivious to Mardi Gras revelry
Broken strand of beads bring no smile
Rolling passed my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
Forlorn in Paris
The city of love has none for me
As cars speed down the Champs Elysee
Their shadows stream passed my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
Melancholy a sail on tropical sea
Salt spray hitting my brow as dolphin leaps
Disguise my tears and swollen eyes
White salt crystal cover my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
Crying in heaven
As tears reflecting the sky above
Splash down on streets of gold
Splattered at my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
Languishing in Paradise
No help from the thought of you
No reward from empty whiskey bottles
Scattered at my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
A sadness with no cure
Hangs heavy on my broken heart
No escape from your memory found
Inconsolable staring down at my feet
I waste the day
As I waste away
