Love In The Hot Afternoon Lyrics - Chesnutt Mark

From somewhere outside I hear the street vendor cry file' gumbo 

Through my window I see him going down the street and he don't know 

That she fell right to sleep in the damp 

Tangled sheet so soon 

After love in the hot afternoon 

Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows 

She was new to me and fully of mystery but now I know 

That she's just a girl and I'm just a guy in the room 

For love in the hot afternoon 

We got high in the park this morning and we sat without talking 

Then we came back here in the heat of the day tired of walking 

Where under her breathe she hummed to herself a tune 

Of love in the hot afternoon 

Now the bourbon street lady sleeps like a baby in the shadows 

She was new to me and fully of mystery but now I know 

That she's just a girl and I'm just a guy in the room 

For love in the hot afternoon
