Love in the Hot Afternoon

[Verse 1]
From somewhere outside I hear a street vendor cry, "Filet gumbo"
Through 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

[Chorus]
Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows
She was new to me, full of mystery, but now I know
She's much more to me than just a girl in a room
For love in the hot afternoon

[Verse 2]
We met in the park this morning and we sat without talking
Then we came back here in the heat of the day, tirеd of walking
Where under hеr breath she hummed to herself a tune
Of love in the hot afternoon

[Chorus]
Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows
She was new to me, full of mystery, but now I know
She's much more to me than just a girl in a room
For love in the hot afternoon

[Outro]
For love in the hot afternoon
