Street Song
words and music by Kenny Schiff & Gary Blu © ℗ 2021 Bock & Blu Music, Inc. (ASCAP)
This heart in overdrive that beats without pity
Whose thickness of scent weighs heavy on my chest
Like a tree that won’t sleep, this song I will sing
In this hour of silence, my fears drop away
My windows are open, my defense is broken
In a room with no walls, I begin to hear
The backwoods beat of jazz at night
The sweat and the groove of the rhythm and blues
The songs of the street - the sound I cannot lose
That poet in the street - a man who can move
His pulse in a word, his breath in a lie
In his thought that is water, it is the I that he will lose
In this wheel of time, the wind is mine
My face will change with the seasons and the rain
Like an eclipse of the moon and the changing of the tide
The backwoods beat of jazz at night
The sweat and the groove of the rhythm and blues
The songs of the street - the sound I cannot lose
Your slender neck and the curve of your hip
With a hum in your gut and a voice in your body
With a rumble in its throat, this guitar begins to speak
The backwoods beat of jazz at night
The sweat and groove of the rhythm and blues
The songs of the street - the sound I cannot lose
The backwoods beat of jazz at night
The sweat and groove of the rhythm and blues
The songs of the street - the sound I cannot lose - the sound I cannot lose
