Song | Talking Back To The Night |
Artist | Joe Cocker |
Album | Sheffield Steel |
作词 : Jennings, Winwood | |
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 |
