A sax drifting its sonorous notes into a smoky room blends into the theology of its patrons.
Story behind the song
The sax line was in my mind and I knew it would require a saxophone to make it sound in reality as it sounded in my mind. I knew I couldn't do it keys, but then I found out by fiddling that I can superimpose a track using the pitchwheel as a separate performance. All these years! I have never known that! In any case, what an incredible discovery.
Lyrics
No one hides a bird in a bush,
That they're holding in their hand.
No one hides a light under a bushel,
They put it high up, high up on a stand.
I know you understand?
You know the words,
I'm saying.
He hears the prayers,
I'm praying,
When I wake up,
In the middle, in the middle
Of the night.
Who would have a moment's hesitation,
When his dreams are before his eyes.
Who would abandon precious truth,
When all the world offers are lies!
Kiss that thought goodbye!
You know the dreams,
I'm dreaming.
You hear what my,
Hearts screaming.
When I wake up,
In the middle of the night!
Sometimes I think I'm in the right key,
Then discover I am not!
Sometimes I think that I've remembered,
Then remember I forgot!
