Lyrics
Under the awning by the station stairs A man plays one more song in the rain His guitar case open, a few small coins And the night walks by without a name His fingers are cold but the tune stays warm It floats up over the wet grey street I stop for a moment, I do not know why The music is slow and soft and sweet Play the last note, play it slow Somebody hears you, somebody knows Play the last note, let it ring The rain is listening, the rain will sing A woman with a bag stops near the wall A boy takes his headphones down For one small song nobody is rushing And the whole wet street slows down Play the last note, play it slow Somebody hears you, somebody knows Play the last note, let it ring The rain is listening, the rain will sing Thank you for the song Thank you for the light You gave away the music And it filled the night Play the last note, play it slow Somebody hears you, somebody knows Play the last note, let it ring The rain is listening, the rain will sing Play the last note Let it ring The rain is listening The rain will sing
