Lyrics:

The night before the night she came
Katrina, the hurricane
All was calm
Calm for a land untamed
That spill the borders of New Orleans
All was calm
The plow boys play their old favorite
The city's on parade
On parade
But deep in the heart of the ocean
Their beds were made

Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Now is all we have
And the rains, they came
With the force of a runaway train
Oh, run away
And the waters rose
And the levies, the levies broke
Oh, run away
And the cradle broke
My beloved, the cradle broke
I must stay
For deep in the heart of our home

My beloved was washed away
Love me now
Now is all we have
Love me now
Now is all we have
Love me now
Now is all we have
Love me now
Love is all
We ever really had

The old church bell is in the graveyard
The old church bell
Oh, lace and stone
The naked feet
Pound the pavement of nameless streets
Oh, faceless homes
But deep in the heart of the American
Prayers for New Orleans
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Now is all we have
Love me now
Love is all we have
Love me now
Now is all
We ever really had
