Each Tuesday morning, they'd all stand in line; | |
the auction would open promptly at nine. | |
The gavel came down on the auctioneer's block | |
and the bidding began on a grandfather's clock. | |
Next up for bids in the rear of the room, | |
a piano worn down and a bit out of tune. | |
Whoí•ll start the bidding?, the auctioneer cried. | |
No voices rang out, so just put it aside. | |
Shouts filled the room and the auction went on | |
when the cries of the crowd were stopped by a song. | |
Everyone turned to the rear of the room, | |
to that worn down piano, a bit out of tune. | |
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around | |
to hear that piano ring out with sound, | |
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through | |
and the piano cries out: 'let me play once for you'. | |
A man with a torn coat and a hole in one shoe | |
sat playing the song that nobody knew. | |
The music rang out and that song filled the room | |
from that worn down piano, a bit out of tune. | |
Then from the crowd a man shouted a bid | |
One thousand dollars for that piano I'll give. | |
Two thousand, Three thousand, and the bidding went on | |
as the man in the torn coat kept playing that song. | |
The bidding grew tense each bid more and more | |
í\"till the five thousand figure rang out from the floor, | |
the man in the torn coat just sat there and stared | |
playing that song as if no-one were there. | |
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around | |
to hear that piano ring out with sound, | |
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through | |
and the piano cries out: let me play once for you. | |
The man in the torn coat played as if to say | |
I too want you, piano but I've nothing to pay. | |
I'd give all I own if you could be mine, | |
but all I can bid is this bottle of wine. | |
The sound of the gavel rang out through the air, | |
the auctioneer cried: Top that bid if you dare. | |
Just give him the piano, maestro play on. | |
but where has the man, in the torn coat gone? | |
It's a quarter past five and the bidding is done, | |
everything's sold and now leave one by one. | |
The auction is over and left in that room | |
is that worn down piano, still a bit out of tune. | |
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around | |
to hear that piano ring out with sound, | |
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through | |
and the piano cries out: let me once play for you. |
