Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
High [Am]above the
heat of a summer New York street
An out- of- work musician plays
a solo [Em]saxophone
He's a preacher [Esus4]and a tea[F]cher
And [D]he stands up all alone
[Am][F]

[Verse 2]
Stranded [Am]in the dark of
a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries
to find another line
[Em]And he's losing and [Esus4]he's using[F]
And [D]he says he's
doing fine
[Am][F]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
And they [D]look [Em]from such
[D]a h[Em]eight[Am]
[F]That somehow it's all right
[D]They're talking back to the[Em] night
It's all that [D]they can [Am]do
[D]Talking back to [Em]the night
It's how [D]they make
[Esus4]it throug[Am]h[G][D]
If you listen you can [G]hear [Am]them
Their [G]voices draw you near
[C]them
They're talking [Esus4]back to the night for you

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F]
[Am]
[Em]
[Esus4][Am][F][D][Am][F]

[Verse 4]
Something [Am]seems to take every
dime the man can [F]make[Am]
His dream is getting smaller and
he wonders where to turn
[Em]And he's trying hard to make[Esus4] it[F]
And he's try[D]ing not to burn
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Woman [F]never [Em]minds, pulls the[D]
shade and draws the blinds
[Em]She [F]takes him in the darkness
where the loneli[D]est can feed
She [Em]gives him [D]all she
[Am]has [D]to[D]
[Em]An d it's no more th[D]an[Am]
he needs[D][Em]
[D]

[Outro 1]
[Am][D][Em][D][Em][Am][Em]
[Am]
[Em][Am][Em]
[Am][D][Em][Am]
