In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy.”

Song lyrics, The Kick Inside (1978)
Context: There's something very special indeed,
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy.
There's 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…
