Zephyr Soul

Hey man he came from a jazz camp
An’ his eyes were as deep as hell
An’ she sits in his head so sure so cold
An’ she stays in his mind
An’ she just smiles

Looking down the faces of the people that I know
Lucky seven kisses from heaven
An’ she just smiles

An’ she eats at his heart
In a wicker cage of hurt
An’ she walks on white coal
She breathes a zephyr soul

It doesn’t hurt him anymore
It’s just a little bit sad
He remembers her good side
But non of her bad
An’ she just smiles

He’s tired an’ he’s drunk
An’ hungry an’ cold
Didn’t get what he wanted
Just another night old
He gave body and soul
She gave nothing at all
An’ she just smiles

An’ she eats at his heart
In a wicker cage of hurt
An’ she walks on white coal
She breathes a zephyr soul

An’ she eats at his heart
She’s just tearin’ him apart
An’ she walks on white coal
She breathes his zephyr soul
