Lady Day and John Coltrane

Ever feel kind of down and out

You don't know just what to do?

Living all of your days in darkness

Let the sun shine through

Ever feel that somehow, somewhere

You lost your way?

And if you don't get help quick

You won't make it through the day?

Or could you call on Lady Day?

Could you call on John Coltrane?

Now, 'cause they'll, they'll wash your troubles

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away

Plastic people with plastic minds

Are on their way to plastic homes

No beginning, there ain't no ending

Just on and on and on and on and on

It's all because they're so afraid to say that they're alone

Until our hero rides in, rides in on his saxophone

Or could you call on Lady Day?

Could you call on John Coltrane?

Now, 'cause they'll, they'll wash your troubles

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away

All right

Ever feel kind of down and out

You don't know just what to do?

Living all of your days in darkness

Let the sun shine through

Ever feel that somehow, somewhere

You lost your way?

And if you don't get help quick

You won't make it through the day?

Or could you call on Lady Day?

And could you call on John Coltrane?

Now, 'cause they'll, they'll wash your troubles

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

Your troubles, your troubles, your troubles, your troubles away

Yeah, they'll wash your troubles away

They'll wash your troubles away

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
