| [00:14.94] |
High above the heat of a summer |
| [00:22.08] |
New York street |
| [00:30.99] |
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone |
| [00:42.84] |
He's a preacher and a teacher |
| [00:47.22] |
And he stands up all alone |
| [00:56.64] |
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park |
| [01:04.62] |
A poet in his madness tries to find another line |
| [01:25.53] |
And he's losing and he's using |
| [01:26.76] |
And he says he's doing fine |
| [01:40.47] |
And they look from such a height |
| [01:41.13] |
That somehow it's all right |
| [01:45.15] |
They're talking back to the night |
| [01:49.11] |
It's all that they can do |
| [01:52.92] |
Talking back to the night |
| [02:03.03] |
It's how they make it through |
| [02:03.54] |
If you listen you can hear them |
| [02:07.20] |
Their voices draw you near them |
| [02:10.98] |
They're talking back to the night for you |
| [02:20.52] |
Something seems to take every dime the man can make |
| [02:28.08] |
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn |
| [02:48.99] |
And he's trying hard to make it |
| [02:53.67] |
And he's trying not to burn |
| [02:54.87] |
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds |
| [03:17.22] |
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed |
| [03:30.78] |
She gives him all she has to |
| [03:32.49] |
And it's no more than he needs |
