歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Two a.m. and the ice is thin Sinking slow in a glass of gin The trumpet moans a low refrain Washing out the city rain Shadows dance on the velvet floor Nobody’s knockin' at the door [Chorus] He’s polishing the silver rim The light is low and getting dim He wears a smile that’s tired and deep For secrets that he has to keep Just a rag and a steady hand In this quiet, hollow land [Post-Chorus] (Yeah, keep it swinging) (Just the bass now) (Soft and blue) (Like that, yeah) [Verse] The upright bass begins to walk Too late for any heavy talk He wipes a spot that isn't there With a cool and vacant stare The amber glow hits the shelf He’s talking softly to himself [Hook] One more pour for the road Lighten up the heavy load Watch the bubbles rise and fall Writing ghost stories on the wall [Bridge] F minor blues on the keys Blowing through the willow trees He’s seen the lovers and the lies Reflected in those weary eyes Every scuff upon the wood Tells a story understood [Chorus] He’s polishing the silver rim The light is low and getting dim He wears a smile that’s tired and deep For secrets that he has to keep Just a rag and a steady hand In this quiet, hollow land [Break] (Scatting softly) (Doo-ba-dee, da-ba-low) (Let the trumpet speak) (Nice and easy) [Verse] "You want another?" he asks me low But we both know it’s time to go The brushed snare whispers a goodbye Underneath a heavy sky He folds the cloth and turns the lock Ignoring every ticking clock [Hook] One more pour for the road Lighten up the heavy load Watch the bubbles rise and fall Writing ghost stories on the wall [Chorus] He’s polishing the silver rim The light is low and getting dim He wears a smile that’s tired and deep For secrets that he has to keep Just a rag and a steady hand In this quiet, hollow land [Outro]
