Spirit Lyrics - 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 aint 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
