[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Soul shadows
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Soul shadows
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You oughta heard 'em play
Feelings that won't go away
Left the sound of their souls in the air
I can hear them 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 on my mind
On my mind, on my mind
[Outro]
They left soul shadows on my mind
They left them shadows on my mind
They left them soul on my mind
Oh, left them shadows on my mind
