Jazzman lyrics
Song information
Artist: Carole King Album: Her Greatest Hits: Songs Of Long Ago
Lyrics
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine Make it nice, play it clean, jazzman
When the jazzman's testifyin' A faithless man believes He can sing you into paradise Or bring you to your knees It's a gospel kind of feelin' A touch of georgia slide A song of pure revival And a style that's sanctified
Jazzman, take my blues away Make my pain the same as yours With every change you play Jazzman, oh, jazzman
When the jazzman's signifyin' And the band is windin' low It's the late night side of morning In the darkness of his soul He can fill a room with sadness As he fills his horn with tears He can cry like a fallen angel When risin' time is near
Jazzman, take my blues away Make my pain the same as yours With every change you play
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turnaround Play it sweetly, take me down, oh, jazzman
