Maestro |
I used to watch him every night |
Under his piano light |
Scores laid out like secret charts |
String and reed and trumpet parts |
And tucked in tight beneath the sheets |
No coughing crowd, no concert seats |
Just the dead of night and the rite of spring |
Remindful, sleepy listening |
Listening to the maestro |
Oh… the maestro |
I know lightning splits a thousand trees |
And thunder rolls like timpanis |
But where does all the music go? |
Do you know the maestro? |
And after all the curtain calls |
The limos and the concert halls |
Won’t you climb your stairs tonight |
And turn on their piano light |
And I’m listening to the maestro |
Oh… the maestro |
I know lightning splits a thousand trees |
And thunder rolls like timpanis |
But where does all the music go? |
Hey, do you know the maestro? |
Maestro… |
Maestro… |
