Lost in Mardigras

[Verse] Sailor on the ship so grand Drifting through the waves he stands Dreaming of a land afar Where they'd find Mardigras [Verse 2] Landed in the city bright Met a girl under neon lights Her smile set his heart ablaze Dreams of love in a drunken daze [Chorus] Oh Mardigras you stole my soul Love and loss took their toll Best friend took my girl away Heartbreak every single day [Verse 3] Back on the ocean breeze Lonely nights and memories Bottles now my company Liquor pours my misery [Bridge] Days and nights just blur away Ship's a prison in the bay Dreams of love gone astray Lost my hope that fateful day [Verse 4] Waves crash cold against the hull Life of sorrow heart so dull No more dreams of lights so bright Only darkness in the night
