Lights Of Lousianne Lyrics

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
