Lyrics Jennifer Warnes

Jennifer Warnes

Lights Of Lousianne

One summer night he'll light a lantern

He'll catch a tiny firefly in a jar

Set her dancing on the mantle

Like a piece of star

See how the boy lays low

He wants the shiver in her wing

See him hiding in the willow

Playing with lightning

You don't know me

I don't know you

And the summer's come again

My oh my, the sparks are flyin'

All over Lousianne

There's lots of fishes in the sea

I swear I'm gonna catch one in my hand

Make him dance for me

In the fryin' pan

You don't know me

I don't know you

And the summer's come again

My oh my, the fish are flyin'

All over Lousianne

In your eyes there's a light

It comes and it goes without a sound

If I hold on tight

It's gonna burn me to the ground

You don't know me

I don't know you

And the summer's come again

My oh my, the sparks are flyin'

All over Lousianne

Our lives go by like sparks are flyin'

All over Lousianne
