Rags And Bones Lyrics - Northern Lights Southern Cross - Band

Catch a taxi to the fountainhead 

Blinking neon penny arcade 

A young Caruso on the fire escape 

Painted face ladies on parade 

The newsboy on the corner 

Singing out headlines 

And a fiddler selling pencils 

The sign reads: Help the blind 

Comin' up the lane callin' 

Workin' while the rain's fallin' 

Ragman, your song of the street 

Keeps haunting my memory 

Music in the air 

I hear it ev'rywhere 

Rags, bones and old city songs 

Hear them, how they talk to me

Trolley car rings out the morning 

Whistle blows at noon 

A cat fight breaks open the night 

While watch dogs bay at the moon 

A preacher on an orange crate 

With a Salvation Army Band 

And clicking along the cobbled stones 

That's the sound of the ice-cream man 

Comin' up the lane callin' 

Workin' while the rain's fallin' 

Ragman, your song of the street 

Keeps haunting my memory 

Music in the air 

I hear it ev'rywhere 

Rags, bones and old city songs 

Hear them, how they talk to me 

Photos 

The organ grinder and his monkey 

Still walkin' the same old beat 

The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather 

He puts the rhythm in your feet 

Strollin' by the churchyard 

List'nin' to the Sunday choir 

With voices rising to the heavens 

Like sirens screaming to a fire 

Comin' up to the lane callin' 

Workin' while the rain's fallin' 

Ragman, your song of the street 

Keeps haunting my memory 

Music in the air 

I hear it ev'rywhere 

Rags, bones and old city songs 

Play them one more time for me
