lyrics

winds blow down deserted streets
ear to the piano ear to the ground
i listen to the world, on my knees
from the earth.. my heart beats

boy sopranos serenade
the contralto and the alto
in the finale on the stage
i am playing a green piano

deserted towns and empty streets
at 2 am, the bars are closing
the choir boys are all asleep
the last buss the last drink

from the earth.. my heart beats
i listen the world on my knees
a green piano, the boy sopranos
serenade windy streets

from the earth.. my heart beats
i listen the world on my knees
a green piano a contralto
the last buss the last drink
