| Riffing on Baker Street(Take 2.) | |

An attempt to capture the impact of the Sax Riff in Gerry Rafferty's Classic. First re-write Gentle melodies sweetly flow Giving me no indication Of where my soul is set to go. To soars with pure elation. I hear the Sax-line Fly, Glissandos roaring by. Notes simply fingered sweet. Riffing on Baker Street It really is no sin, Strumming my Mandolin Poignant absurdity The very heart of me My words are just as dumb. You rise but down I plumb. I hear the Sax-line Fly I thrill and know not why. As the axe-men play hard and loud, I slowly drop down from my cloud. The music will come to an end, So back to beginning again. To hear that Sax Line Fly RIFFING ON BAKER STREET Gentle melodies sweetly flow Giving me no indication Of where my soul is set to go. It then bursts into sensation I hear the Sax-line Fly It takes me to the sky My life feels so complete Riffing on Baker Street It really is no sin, Strumming my Mandolin Poignant absurdity The very heart of me My words are just as dumb. You fly but down I plumb. I hear the Sax-line Fly It takes me to the sky Hear them axe-men play hard and loud, I slowly come down from my cloud. It will sadly come to an end, So back to beginning again. To hear that Sax Line Fly
