Tameko Barnette Poet Lyric

Got a Love For You

for Alice Coltrane 


I got a love for you
you be jazz
I got a love for you
you be jazz
I got a love for you
you be jazz
jazz all my tears away
jazz all my tears away

you got me 
seeing all kinds
of colors in 
my mind's eye
but my favorite
are those shades
of blue -- reaching
from the sky deep
into indigo

Alice Coltrane 
got me trippin'
over myself to
fly the world 
galaxy and 
humming on 
the blue nile
I yoga to ptah
the el daoud
and galazy in
turiya and 
journey to 
satchiananda

a song 
a canvas
painting
in notes
a song
a canvas
so colorful
she wrote

I got a love for you
you be jazz
I got a love for you
you be jazz
I got a love for you
you be jazz
jazz all my tears away
jazz all my tears away
