Crescent Love Lyrics

New Orleans, this city dreams so quietly at night

In silhouettes of lovers who've never met each other

The sunset's in no hurry, so darling take your time

Slow it down a bit, breathe in, the weather's much too fine

So float on in your way, like a leaf flowing in the breeze

Lost in love's vapor, just put your mind at ease

These frenzied atoms scurry just to get a chance to be

A part of the warm body that reflects the soul I see

Cuz in your steady hands, I'm no more than a man

Free from time and space

And when you're mine to hold, everything I know

Spirals into place

A rose fresh from the concrete, the promise of the thorn

One million souls that live here, and none of them like yours

The subtle way she paints with the art of conversation

And every shining smile is a sunrise inspiration

I'd study her eyes for years if I only had the time

Every glimmer, every tear, every detail I'd make it mine

I'm writing out this story, the story of you and me

So, tell me what is next my dear, where should this story lead?

Cuz in your steady hands, I'm no more than a man

Free from time and space

And when you're mine to hold, everything I know

Spirals into place

You can stare at the sea, trying to make your eyes turn blue

Though it never worked for me, I fell in love with the view
