Lyrics
[Intro] [Saxophone Key Clicks & Rain Foley]
Brick alley behind the theater door
A lonely saxophone upon the floor
[Verse 1] [Smoky Sax Melody & Upright Bass]
Old busker leaning on the rusted pipe
Playing a tune of the vintage type
Brass horn catches the amber streetlight ray
Blowing all the sorrow of the town away
Velvet case lined with purple plush
In the middle of the midnight hush
[Pre-Chorus] [Brush Snare & Soft Rhodes]
Coins clink softly in the velvet lid
Honest music that could not be hid
[Chorus] [Smoky Nocturnal Jazz Drop]
Golden tenor saxophone singing in the rain
A soothing remedy for every human pain
Bending the notes in the wet alley air
Playing a soulful and honest prayer
Blow sweet, play deep, let the brass horn cry
Underneath the dark city sky
[Verse 2] [Contralto Vocal & Saxophone Harmony]
I stop to listen by the damp brick wall
Answering the beautiful midnight call
The music wraps around me like a wool coat
Floating with every single tender note
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Ad-libs & Saxophone Solo]
Oh, let the saxophone improvise and soar
We don't need fancy palaces anymore
True soul is born right here upon the street
Where human hearts and honest melodies meet
[Chorus] [Full Grand Nocturnal Climax]
Golden tenor saxophone singing in the rain
A soothing remedy for every human pain
Bending the notes in the wet alley air
Playing a soulful and honest prayer
Blow sweet, play deep, let the brass horn cry
Underneath the dark city sky
[Outro] [Saxophone Note Fading to Rain]
Tenor saxophone...
Soul in the alley.
[Fade Out]
[End]
