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 right 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 the 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 coming home
the city is singin'
its night song
listen
