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, deep pain
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
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
Ah, they remain apart of all that I knew

Oh, they play, feelings that won't go away
Left the sound of their souls in the air
I can hear it out there and I know

They left those 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 play
Feeling that won't go away
There's the sound of their soul in the air
I can hear it out there and I know

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 is wailing in Chicago
You oughta hear them play, feelings that won't go away
Left the sound of their souls in the air
I hear out 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, on my mind
They left soul shadows on my mind
They left them shadows on my mind
They left them souls on my mind
Oh, left them shadows on my mind
