Lyrics Bill Withers

Bill Withers

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

Feelings that won?t go away

Left the sound of his soul 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

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

And Satchmo is wailing in Chicago

You ought to heard ?em 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
