Loose Change

LOOSE CHANGE (reworking of original instrumental track, February Blues, By Silvio Vinci) Change in the lining Of a second-hand coat. A man by the station Bending one blue note. Rain on the pavement, Nobody stops. I drop a little silver In his paper cup. Play a little longer, Let the whole street sway. All the things I thought I needed Sound so far away. (So far away…) He says, “Pick a number.” I say, “Something slow.” He plays half a heartbreak From a lifetime ago. My bus goes without me, I watch it pull away. For the price of a coffee, I get back half a day. Play a little longer, Let the whole street sway. All the things I thought I needed Sound so far away. (So far away…) He missed a note. I missed the bus. The rain kept time For both of us. Play a little longer, Let the whole street sway. All the things I thought I needed Sound so far away. (So far away…) A blue note in my pocket… All the way back home.
