Can you see me, mon amor?
I am on a golden shore,
Whistling a borrowed tune,
Howling at a lonely moon,
Howling at a lonely moon.

In the streets of Santa Fe,
I thought you would marry me,
That is why I weep today,
I thought you were there to stay,
I though you were there to stay.

Can you see me, mon amor?
I am on the second floor,
Of where you sleep and where you swoon,
Howling at a lonley moon,
Howling at a lonely moon.

Play the gray accordion,
Sing a song for lonely men,
Sing for old New Orleans,
Gone again, gone again.

I will walk with you tonight,
By the streets and the steeple light
Like a raving Amorite,
I will sing to you tonight,
I will sing to you tonight.

Can you see me, mon amor?
Standing where I was before,
In the rains of May and June,
Howling at a lonely moon,
Howling at a lonely moon.
