[Verse 1] I watch you play on the corner each day Your saxophone singing through rain While people rush by, heads down on their way Not stopping to listen again The music you make gets lost in the storm But still you keep playing your song I wonder if maybe that's just the norm In a world where we can't get along [Chorus] The city's too busy to hear you play (ooh-ooh) The rain keeps on falling anyway [Verse 2] Your case sits empty except for some change A few coins that caught in the light The notes that you play make everything strange Like painting the rainfall at night I stand here and watch as crowds pass you by Each footstep just adding the beat While autumn rain falls from a gray cloudy sky And puddles reflect the wet street [Chorus] The city's too busy to hear you play (ooh-ooh) The rain keeps on falling anyway [Bridge] Too busy to hear, too busy to see Too busy to stop, too busy to be Too busy to hear, too busy to care Too busy to notice you're there [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] I've counted the people who walked past your song Two hundred and none looked your way But something inside tells me that's wrong So here's what I'm trying to say: I hear every note that you play in the rain Each melody speaks to my soul And maybe we're both a bit crazy or sane But at least now you're not alone [Chorus] The city's too busy to hear you play (ooh-ooh) The rain keeps on falling anyway (Too busy to hear you) The city's too busy to hear you play (ooh-ooh) The rain keeps on falling anyway [End]
