Jesca Hoop - Love Is All We Have lyrics

Night before the night she came Katrina the hurricane Ohhh was calm Calm for a land untame That spill the borders of New Orleans Ohhh was calm The plow boys play their old favorite "The City's On Parade" On parade But deep in the heart of The ocean Their beds were made Love me now Love is all we have Love me now love is all we have The rains that came With the force of a runaway train Oh run away And the waters rose and the levies The levies broke Oh run away And the cradle broke my beloved The cradle broke Oh I must stay For deep in the heart of our home My beloved was washed away Love me now Now is all we have Love me now Now is all we have Love me now Now is all we have Love me now Love is all we ever really had The old church bell Is in the graveyard The old church bell Oh lace and stone The naked feet Pound the pavement Of nameless streets Oh faceless homes But deep in the heart of The American Prayers for New Orleans Love me know Love is all we have Love me now Now is all we have Love me now Love is all we have Love me now Now is all we ever really had
