Great Lake Swimmers - Faithful Night, Listening lyrics

As I sit here on this curb In the middle of the night With my guitar in my hands Playing a lonely midnight song A stranger approaches me and says Why do you play And I answer him This parking lot and Everyone else lies in its dark corners And down it's dark alleyways Is my audience And this song is for this night And all that comes with it And all that belongs to it Play for the stars And the immobile cars Stray cats and telephone lines The old dumpster bins They will all receive me Will not turn me away They will listen with kind ears They will listen with kind ears And I shiver in the cool air My guitar echoes against the back of sleeping building My faithful night still listens And my faithful night still listens Play for the stars And the immobile cars Stray cats and telephone lines The old dumpster bins They will all receive me Will not turn me away They will listen with kind ears They will listen with kind ears They will listen with kind ears
