Lyrics

Soul Shadows

[Verse 1]

San Francisco morning coming clear and cold

Don't know if I'm waking or I'm dreaming

Riding with Fats Waller on the Super Chief

He said, music's real, the rest is seeming

[Bridge]

Oh, deep pain

Feeling that won't go away

There's the sound of his soul in the air

I can hear it out there

And I know

[Chorus]

He left those soul shadows

On my mind

On my mind

On my mind

He left a soul shadow

On my mind

On my mind

On my mind

[Verse 2]

Standing by the window as a fog rolls in

I swear I can hear a far-off music

Jelly Roll is playing down in Storyville

Satchmo wailing somewhere in Chicago

Coltrane reaching for the notes his mind can hear

They'll remain a part of all that I know

[Refrain]

Oh, they play, feeling that won't go away

Left the sound of their souls in the air

I can hear it out there and I know

[Chorus]

They left them soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind

On my mind

They left a soul shadow on my mind

On my mind

On my mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

Oh, they play, feeling that won't go away

Left the sound of their souls in the air

I can hear it out there and I know

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind

On my mind

Soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind

On my mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Standing by the window as a fog rolls in

I swear I can hear a far-off music

Jelly Roll is playing down in Storyville

And Satchmo is wailing in Chicago

[Refrain]

You oughta heard 'em play

Feelings that won't go away

Left the sound of their souls in the air

I hear out there and I know

[Chorus]

They left them soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind

All on my mind

They left them soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind

(All) on my mind

They left soul shadows on my mind

They left them shadows all on my mind

They left them soul on my mind

Oh, left them shadows all on my mind

[Instrumental Outro]
