All That You Can Stand Lyrics

B. Wray, B. Payne, P. Barrere 





Might be a story you read in a book 

'Bout a irl who drank from the devil's cup 

Might be someone you know so well 

Just might be me, you never can tell 



Le dame Laveau burning at the stake 

You're the hero, but just a little bit too late 

Might be you, might be me 

Might be some gris gris that you just can't see 



Spirits in the bedroom 

Candles in the hall 

Shadows on the ceiling 

Don't answer the call 



I'm gonna take you back 

I'm gonna take you way back 

And give you 

All that you can stand 

I'm gonna give you 

All that you can stand 



Fires off the coast of Martinique 

Stories you've heard, you dare not speak 

Down on a rampart, you don't go alone 

Might be an angel of mercy 

Might be a black cat bone 



Echoes in the stairwell 

Curtains start to blow 

Sugar, Honey, a touch of steel 

There's something you should know 



I'm gonna take you back 

I'm gonna take you way back 

And give you 

All that you can stand 

I'm gonna give you 

All that you can stand 



Dance Colinda on St. John's eve 

Bells on her ankles 

Makes you believe 

Good time dresses on Lake Pontchatrain 

A vision in the rain 



Spirits in the bedroom 

Candles in the hall 

Shadows on the ceiling 

Don't answer the call 



I'm gonna take you back 

I'm gonna take you way back 

And give you 

All that you can stand 

I'm gonna give you 

All that you can stand
