SOUL SHADOWS

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
Oh, he played
Feeling that won't go away
There's the 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
Soul shadows 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's wailing somewhere in Chicago
Oh, they played
Feelings that won't go away
There's the sound of their souls in the air
I can hear it up there
And I know

They left thom soul shadows on my mind
On my mind, on my mind
They left thom soul shadows on my mind
On my mind, on my mind
