Lyrics
Midnight on the corner by the bridge A man with a trumpet and a hat The cold comes in but the notes stay warm He plays like it's all of that Toss me a coin, toss me a smile I'll blow you a song for the road Corner trumpet, midnight coins Every note is a bit of gold Walk on by, or stay a while The night has room for two Corner trumpet, midnight coins Here's a tune for you A taxi slows, the window drops A fare leans out to hear A couple dances on the kerb No music but what's here Toss me a coin, toss me a smile I'll blow you a song for the road Corner trumpet, midnight coins Every note is a bit of gold Walk on by, or stay a while The night has room for two Corner trumpet, midnight coins Here's a tune for you The city is a sleepy beast But it taps its feet in time One horn, one hat, one hour And the whole dark town is mine Toss me a coin, toss me a smile I'll blow you a song for the road Corner trumpet, midnight coins Every note is a bit of gold Walk on by, or stay a while The night has room for two Corner trumpet, midnight coins Here's a tune for you Here's a tune for you
