Charles Mingus - Duke Ellington's sound of love |
|
|
|
I was young and carefree |
|
|
|
Not a song had found my soul |
|
|
|
Lost in Blues, Jazz, and Ragtime |
|
|
|
No Sound had got to my mood |
|
|
|
I was searching for my melody |
|
|
|
Love blues that gets me wooed |
|
|
|
All along, sad clown with his circus closed down |
|
|
|
Lost on my merry-go-around |
|
|
|
Came a melody in my heart so yearning |
|
|
|
Taught me to hear music out of love |
|
|
|
From the soul, for this life |
|
|
|
We all live infinite |
|
|
|
With a lover and beloved |
|
|
|
As one Ellington sound of love |
|
|
|
|
|
Oh sad clown with his circus closed down |
|
|
|
Lost on my merry-go-around |
|
|
|
Came a melody in my heart so yearning |
|
|
|
Taught me to hear music out of love |
|
|
|
From the soul, for this life |
|
|
|
We all live infinite |
|
|
|
With a lover and beloved |
|
|
|
As one Ellington sound of love |
