Rags And Bones — текст песни (Band, The)

Catch a taxi to the fountainhead
Blinking neon penny arcade
A young Caruso on the fire escape
Painted face ladies on parade
The newsboy on the corner
Singing out headlines
And a fiddler selling pencils
The sign reads: Help the blind

Comin` up the lane callin`
Workin` while the rain`s fallin`
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory
Music in the air
I hear it ev`rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Hear them, how they talk to me

Trolley car rings out the morning
Whistle blows at noon
A cat fight breaks open the night
While watch dogs bay at the moon
A preacher on an orange crate
With a Salvation Army Band
And clicking along the cobbled stones
That`s the sound of the ice-cream man

Comin` up the lane callin`
Workin` while the rain`s fallin`
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory
Music in the air
I hear it ev`rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Hear them, how they talk to me

The organ grinder and his monkey
Still walkin` the same old beat
The shoe-shine boy slappin` leather
He puts the rhythm in your feet
Strollin` by the churchyard
List`nin` to the Sunday choir
With voices rising to the heavens
Like sirens screaming to a fire

Comin` up to the lane callin`
Workin` while the rain`s fallin`
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory
Music in the air
I hear it ev`rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Play them one more time for me
