Night Song

Listen The city is singin' its night song A city of shadows and fading starlight Mixed with bar light Listen The empty streets echo the night song A melody I used to think was only for the lonely Night song I hear you Now as the night disappears But this time your blues Is music to my ears The 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 song! You used to find me cryin' in my beer Now you remind me tomorrow she'll be here She'll be here! Oh, night song You sing of a train from New Orleans And deep in the music I hear her hummin' Now she's comin' home! The city is singin' its night song Listen
