That Alice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born in Detroit, then she studied in France
She played the harp, she played jazz
With John Coltrane, she became his wife
Made a lot of music before he died
That Alice, made a palace
For us to hear
That Alice, made a palace
For our ears
She moved to California, became a swamini
Living in a place near Malibu Beach
I never had the chance, to see her play
I listen to the records and I feel the waves
That Alice, made a palace
For us to hear
That Alice, made a palace
For our ears
Made a million journeys in your mind
I can feel it in the way that you keep time
I wonder if she's watching, up above the clouds
What happened to her spirit, is it still in the ground
I can hear her, in that spinning black
Living in a jukebox, so coming back
That Alice, made a palace
For us to hear
That Alice, made a palace
For our ears
That Alice
That Alice
That Alice
That Alice
