Wynton Marsalis
How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns (2018)
[Verse 1]
In the blue light
Of the Belvedere Motel
Watching as the television burns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
[Verse 2]
In a fever
I can hear your secret voice
Emerging from a dream, your voice returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
[Bridge 1]
After the rain on the interstate
Headlights slide past the moon
A bone-weary traveler waits by the side of the road
Where's he going?
[Trumpet Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Headlights slide past the moon
I rolled in your arms
And your voice is the heat of the night
[Verse 3]
In a phone booth
In some downtown bar and grill
Rehearsing what I’ll say, my coin returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
How the heart approaches what it yearns
