Trumpet Rhapsody In Blues
Trumpet Rhapsody in Blues
Walking down New York Fifth Avenue
no longer got a spring
in my step anymore
my trumpet wails ‘cause time’s upside down
my trumpet wails ‘cause time’s upside down
It’s raining oh so many tweets
light has gone out of life
oh I feel so fenced in
and I don’t even know where to duck
and I don’t even know where to duck
over one hundred days
and still so many more to come
for shame, how much longer will my trumpet
have to cry?
Walking down New York Fifth Avenue
no longer got a spring
in my step anymore
and my trumpet still wails
filled with so much pain
for an unstable branch
sways over my life
and its demanding voice
can’t escape . . .
(the lyrics are on the 2 minute video above)
