Robbie Robertson - Street Serenade Lyrics
Shots rang out from the joint next door
A woman screams on the upper floor
The footsteps thunder down the fire escape
Sirens coming closer
Might be too late
Just across the avenue
Mmm-hmm
Hear the heartbeat
Of the urban jungle
It seems to play a rhapsody in blue
The thought of sinking don't be afraid
That's the sound of the street serenade
It's one big circus
Here on parade
A street serenade
A chorus of horns
In a traffic jam
Jack hammers roar
Like they don't give a damn
Someone wailing on a bottleneck guitar
Comes blasting out of a gay bar
A lonely trumpet
Down the boulevard
Plays a homage to restless souls
The rhythm of tires
Over pot holes
And in the distance
A church bell tolls
Thousand whistles
And not on our neighbors
Plays it's part in the
Street serenade
The echoes of prayers
From a holy crusade
Heading up town for the
Street serenade
If you're new in town
Don't be afraid
That's the sound of the street serenade
It's one big circus
In a long parade
That keeps on jammin'
A street serenade
Some people said
It's a sea of noise
But they don't hear
The unheard music
Hidden in the sky
(Hidden in the sky)
It's a symphony
A symphony
It's a symphony

Would like to see you playing Robbie, then we are not alone 😁
Wonderful stuff from a Master.
NOW how about a tour for us most loyal Robbie fans? So good to hear new stuff.
agree paul
He doesn't like to be on the road. Albums only
@Les McGrath Robbie's distaste for 'the road' is why he quit The Band in the first place...he's stuck to his guns too, I don't think he's played a full concert since The Last Waltz. Book tours, yes, concert tours, no- and it is a shame because he could probably put on one hell of a show if he'd felt so inclined- look at the songs!
