and when at midnight suddenly you hear
a ghostly celebration in the street
the music good, the voices drunk and clear

and when at midnight suddenly you hear
a ghostly celebration coming through
exquisite music, voices drunk and clear
the ankle bells of dancers you once knew

the music cool, the drunken voices clear

and when at midnight suddenly you hear
a ghostly celebration in the street
the music true, the drunken voices clear
but music, voices bodiless and sweet
