Soul Shadows
Don't know if I'm waking or I'm dreaming
Riding with Fats Waller on the Super Chief
He said, musics real, the rest is seeming
Oh, he played
A feeling that won't go away
Left a sound of his soul in the air
I can hear it up there
And I know
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
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 remain a part of all that I know
Oh, they played
A feeling that won't go away
Left a sound of their souls in the air
I can hear it up there
And I know
They left them soul shadows
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
They left a soul shadow
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Oh, they played
A feeling that won't go away
Left a sound of their souls in the air
I can hear it up there
And I know
Soul shadow
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Soul shadow
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
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 wailing somewhere in Chicago
You oughta hear them play
Feelings that won't go away
Left a sound of their souls in the air
I hear up there
And I know
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
