What You Need

The saxophone across the hall

Screams for harmony

Another voice, a counterpoint

Some company

Sing those blues, lonely saxophone

I'll try to give you what you need

Sing those blues, lonely saxophone

I'll try to give you what you need

The derelict flags down the cars

On the Bowery

With a dirty rag and his paper bag

For company

Sing those blues, brother down and out

I'll try to give you what you need

Sing those blues, brother down and out

I'll try to give you what you need

If you tell yourself you're satisfied

Nothing better will be found

But when it grows so dark

That you howl for the moon

Well at least it gets your eyes

Above the ground

Love, I don't need my windshield clean

You can have it all for free

Another voice, a counterpoint

Some company

But sing those blues, will you anyway

'Cause I can't give you what you need

Sing those blues with me

Take my hand

And we'll go look for what we need
