Soft ShoeArtist : Tompi

cars, splash, thru the rainy nite
deep blues and neon lights
alley cats and city rats, cop out on the beat
raise my collar and pull down my hats
to the rythm on the street
 
somewhere in the misty nite
you hide till the morning light
i can feel you out there in the dark
inside the city blues
thru smoky dives and buzzing hive
i just have to follow the clues
 
i'll do the old soft shoe
to a tune by monk till i get to you
a solitary soft shoe step
while the city sleepsi'll do the old soft shoe
thru the city street
a solitary soft shoe step
while the city sleeps
 
near down, but the nite is deep
never knows who you might meet
the night crawls on its bell towards the dawn
got to find out where you're hiding
before the morning
 
i'll do the old soft shoe
to a tune by monk till i get to you
i'll do the old soft shoe
thru the city street
a solitary soft shoe step
while the city sleeps
