Spirit - Amos Lee

Walkin' down Royal Street

A street singer symphony

Ain’t been the hardest way

Ain’t had the greatest day

Walkin' past memories

And the pain that she gave to me

Don’t you know I’m tryin' to be the bigger man

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

Washin' over me

Me and Madame Laveau

Seen some people come and go

Seen a couple storm clouds pass

Seen a couple spells been cast

People trippin' down cobblestones

Marching bands and trombones

Everybody’s out here waitin' on the second line

And I’m just fine

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

Washin' over me

Storm clouds out up ahead

Singin' songs of praise to raise the dead

I got a heart that was born to be

Broken down and wild and free

Johnny came in on a train

With not a dollar to his name

Just an old guitar case

And the bruises on his pretty face

Walkin' down a railroad track

He ain’t never comin' back

Said mama I don’t know if I’m every comin' home again

But until then

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

I just wanna feel the spirit

Washin' over me
