Maestro - Marc Cohn

I used to watch him every night

Under his piano light

Scores laid out like secret charts

String and reed and trumpet parts

And tucked in tight beneath the sheets

No coughing crowd, no concert seats

Just the dead of night and the rite of spring

Remindful, sleepy listening

Listening to the maestro

Oh… the maestro

I know lightning splits a thousand trees

And thunder rolls like timpanis

But where does all the music go?

Do you know the maestro?

And after all the curtain calls

The limos and the concert halls

Won’t you climb your stairs tonight

And turn on their piano light

And I’m listening to the maestro

Oh… the maestro

I know lightning splits a thousand trees

And thunder rolls like timpanis

But where does all the music go?

Hey, do you know the maestro?

Maestro…

Maestro…
