Court And Spark Songtext
von Herbie Hancock
Court And Spark Songtext
Love came to my door with a sleeping roll
And a madman′s soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman to court and spark
He was playing on the sidewalk for passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So, he buried the coins he made in People′s Park
Went looking for a woman to court and spark
Seem like you read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
How I worried sometimes
"All the guilty people", he said
"They've all seen the stain
On their daily bread, on their Christian names"
Oh, I cleared myself, I sacrificed my blues
You could complete me, I'd complete you
His eyes were the color of the sand and the sea
And the more he talked to me, the more he reached me
Oh, but I couldn′t let go of LA
City of the fallen angels
And a madman′s soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman to court and spark
He was playing on the sidewalk for passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So, he buried the coins he made in People′s Park
Went looking for a woman to court and spark
Seem like you read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
How I worried sometimes
"All the guilty people", he said
"They've all seen the stain
On their daily bread, on their Christian names"
Oh, I cleared myself, I sacrificed my blues
You could complete me, I'd complete you
His eyes were the color of the sand and the sea
And the more he talked to me, the more he reached me
Oh, but I couldn′t let go of LA
City of the fallen angels
