Jazzman Songtext
von Keli Vale

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 joy, just like
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 start of mornin′
In the darkness of the soul
He can fill a room with sadness
As he fills his heart with tears
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


Lift me, won′t you lift me
With every turn around
Play it sweetly, take me down
Oh jazzman
