Night Song

Listen

The city is singin' its night song

A city of shadows and fading starlight

Mixed with bar lightListen

The empty streets echo the night song

A melody I used to think was only for the lonelyNight song I hear you

Now as the night disappears

But this time your blues

Is music to my earsThe rumble of a train

The rustle of the wind

The rhythm of the footsteps

The blarin' of a horn

The murmur of a voice

The echo of a siren

Night songYou used to find me cryin' in my beer

Now you remind me tomorrow she'll be here

She'll be here

Oh, night songYou sing of a train from New Orleans

And deep in the music I hear her hummin'

Now she's comin' homeThe city is singin' its night song

Listen
