Jazzman

[Intro] Lift me, won't you lift me Above the old routine? Make it nice, play it clean, jazzman [Verse 1] When the jazzman's testifyin' A faithless man believes He can sing you into paradise Or bring you to your knees It's a gospel kind of feelin' A touch of Georgia slide A song of pure revival And a style that's sanctified [Chorus] Jazzman, take my blues away Make my pain the same as yours With every change you play Jazzman, oh jazzman [Verse 2] When the jazzman's signifyin' And the band is windin' low It's the late night side of mornin' In the darkness of his soul He can fill a room with sadness As he fills his horn with tears He can cry like a fallen angel When risin' time is near [Chorus] Jazzman, take my blues away Make my pain the same as yours With every change you play [Outro] Oh lift me, won't you lift me With every turnaround? Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman
