lyrics

I'm just playing to the wind
I'm just singing to a billion burning stars
Though my sound is drowned out by the bustling bars
I'll keep playing to no end

If you decided to drink downtown
You'll find me strumming on a cold and crowded street
To the rhythms of the passing patrons' feet
On their way to buy a round

She won't hear a word I sing
Still, she'll stop to drop a dollar in my case
I'll see a look of satisfaction on her face
Like she's doing the right thing

Standing 'neath the streetlamps that illuminate my Stage of dirty pavement as the passersby take little
Or no notice of my serenade
But I don't mind if they don't pay attention or applaud me, as the wind blows an uproarious response
And the stars seem so attentive
Like their taking in each nuance
Of the music that I've made

Above the taverns packed so tight
I see my audience, the moon, is rising high
I get a full standing ovation in the sky
And take a bow beneath his light
