[00:23.84]I can still hear him playing “April in Paris”
[00:29.65]Dexter's blowing his horn
[00:34.22]It's a used up tune for a faded moon
[00:39.64]And played for the memory of something that's gone
[00:46.03]
[00:50.16]He plays like a lover who's holding a dream
[00:54.90]When he knows that the dream won't last
[00:59.83]He's going down slow but he's scared to let go
[01:05.15]And deep down he knows the dreaming has passed
[01:11.96]
[01:36.10]One hit of cocaine, one hit of “horse(*horoin)”
[01:40.87]he'll take what's on offer today
[01:45.18]It's a loser's refrain to come back again
[01:50.67]And a thin line of snow(*cocaine) to blow you away
[01:56.74]
[02:00.74]He says “Buy me vin rouge, buy me a beer”
[02:05.36]as he sits in the Blue Note café
[02:09.92]He's ending his days in a purple haze
[02:14.86]As pink and blue neon drag night into day
[02:21.89]
[02:25.21]The dancers have left the floor
[02:30.15]And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door
[02:34.51]The old man's hung up his horn he's playing no more
[02:42.46]
[03:05.80]It's not for the money, it's not for the fame
[03:10.43]it's for something that sings through it all
[03:15.22]When the music rings true your soul comes through
[03:20.59]And that's what you do ‘til you hear the last call
[03:26.90]
[03:30.35]They say we go out the way we came in
[03:34.84]it's how we played it that marks the man
[03:39.39]But if we can leave a trace of beauty and grace
[03:44.76]Then it wasn't for nothing just part of the plan
[03:53.07]
[03:55.28]The dancers have left the floor
[04:00.03]And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door
[04:04.90]The old man's hung up his horn he's playing no more
[04:12.91]
