Soft Shoe - 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 rhythm 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 sleeps I’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
