Last night i woke up, i turned but you were gone
I sat up in the darkness of my home
As i walk through the hallway to my living room suite
I see you're rose red lips and your naked dancing feet
All the other boys in town turn their heads as you walk by
Our hands they touch as i hold yours and you hold mine
As i feel the breath you take, my hands they squeeze
Then i close my eyes and all i see is Louise
Other boys they come and then they go
Every man in town wants you but you say no
Sometimes you walk through the evening street
And when you take each step even the cobbles kiss your feet
You've left me drained and empty but yet so full
And girl no other woman can kiss me quite like you
So at the end of each day i pray for faith and peace
Then i close my eyes and all i see is Louise
Preachers and heretics, martyrs line the road
Each hone with no purpose nor no place to go
Boys watch from the wayside, in your window to catch a glimpse of you
Combing your silk black hair like only the way you do
Well me i can walk the same cobbles that you have
But the people won't turn and i won't catch a kiss from the path
But you found a travelling boy and knocked him to his knees
Now every time i close my eyes all i see is Louise
