Talking Back To The Night |
High above the heat of a summer New York street |
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone |
He’s a preacher and a teacher |
And he stands up all alone |
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park |
A poet in his madness tries to find another line |
And he’s losing and he’s using |
And he says he’s doing fine |
And they look from such a height |
That somehow it’s all right |
They’re talking back to the night |
It’s all that they can do |
Talking back to the night |
It’s how they make it through |
If you listen you can hear them |
Their voices draw you near them |
They’re talking back to the night for you |
Something seems to take every dime the man can make |
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn |
And he’s trying hard to make it |
And he’s trying not to burn |
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds |
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed |
She gives him all she has to |
And it’s no more than he needs |
