  • You'll find me in a Berlin bar
    In a corner brooding
    You know that I go very quiet
    When I'm listening to you

    There's something special indeed
    There's something special indeed
    In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
    Something very real in how I feel, honey

    It's in me
    It's in me
    And you know it's for real
    Tuning in on your saxophone

    Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo woo

    The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing
    Shadows from your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor
    The stars that climb from her bowels
    Those stars make towers on vowels

    You'll never see that you had all of me
    You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
    Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
    I've never known or felt in myself so rightly

    It's in me
    It's in me
    And you know it's for real
    Tuning in on your saxophone
