Do you know Chantel? Could you tell me this, about her? Was she with those boys? Did she come out on her own lonesome? Down in New Orleans Dream of Chantel on the Bayou Back home in the big city Dream of Chantel in Manhattan I loved her like the world It was like the world betrayed me I loved her like my life It was like my life had left me But through the darkest night She's my holy navigator And lost as I might be She's my life has dreamed with visions
