Jesca Hoop - Love Is All We Have lyrics

The night before the night she came

katrina the hurricane

all was calm

calling for a land untamed

that spill the boarders of new orleans

all 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

ohhh run away

and the waters rose and the levies the levies

broke

ohhh run away

and the cradle broke my beloved

the cradle broke

ohh i must stay

for deep in the heart of our home

my beloved was washed away

love me now

love is all we have

love me now, love is all we have

love me now, love 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

ohhh lace and stone

and the naked feet

pound the pavement

of nameless streets

ohhh faceless homes

but deep in the heart of

the americans

prayers for new orleans

love me now, love is all we have

love me now, love is all we have

love me now, love is all we have

love me now, love is all

we ever really had
