    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

    left a sound of his soul in the air I can hear it out there And I know

    He left those soul shadows On my mind, on my mind, on my mind

    He left those soul shadows On my mind, on my mind, on my mind

    Standing by the window as the fog rolls in I swear I can hear a far-off
    music

    Jelly Roll is playing down in Storyville Satchmo's wailing somewhere


    in Chicago

    Coltrane reaching for the notes his mind can hear They remain a part of
    all that I know

    Left a sound of their souls in the air I can hear it out there And I know

    Oh, they played Feelings that won't go away

    Left the sound of their souls in the air I can hear them out there and I
    know

    They left them soul shadows all on my mind On my mind, on my mind

    They left them soul shadows all on my mind On my mind, on my mind
