Love In The Hot Afternoon

From somewhere outside
 I hear the street vendor cry, "Filet gumbo"
 From 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
 Now the Bourbon Street lady
 Sleeps like a baby in the shadows (in the shadows)
 She was new to me, full of mystery
 But now I know (now I know)
 That she's just a girl
 And I'm just a guy, in a room
 Full of love in the hot afternoon
 We got high in the park
 This morning and we sat, without talkin'
 Then we came back here
 In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
 Where under her breath
 She hummed to herself a tune
 Of love in the hot afternoon
 Now the Bourbon Street lady
 Sleeps like a baby in the shadows (in the shadows)
 She was new to me, full of mystery
 But now I know (I know)
 That she's just a girl
 And I'm just a guy, in a room
 Full of love in the hot afternoon
