Soul Shadows by The Crusaders Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1980

[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]
