October Jazz

Laying down in the cool night 
I hear jazz on the radio 
Saxophone can ease the pain of living 
As can scatting 
I'll take flight tonight 
After I close my eyes 
With a jazz send - off 
I'll enter the world of dreams 
Where hate becomes love 
Where reality gives way 
to sweet fantasy 
Cool October!
We are on the earth for a short time 
The joys of autumn 
offer us  heavy sense of peace

This is very nice and soothing, just like smooth jazz, Matt! I bet you might enjoy the new movie with music in it: La la Land

You've won me over to autumn, just when I was starting to enjoy spring! Oh thanks for this new confusion in me.

What a lovely way to send you to the land of dreams... I love music and go to open mic night once a month... its usually bluesy music and this month they had 3 saxophonists playing and it was so wonderful:-) hugs Jan xx
