Ever feel kinda of down and out and don't know just what to do
Livin' all of days in darkness let the sun shine through
Ever fell that somehow somewhere you lost your way
And if you don't get help you won't make it through the day
You could call on Lady Day
You could call on John Coltrane
They'll wash your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away
Plastic people with plastic minds on their way to plastic homes
There's no beginning there ain't no ending
Just on and on and on and on and on
It's all because we're so afraid to say that we're alone
Until our hero rides in rides in on his saxophone
You could call on Lady Day
You could call on John Coltrane
They'll wash your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away
Ever feel kinda of down and out and don't know just what to do
Livin' all of days in darkness let the sun shine through
Ever fell that somehow somewhere you lost your way
And if you don't get help you won't make it through the day
You could call on Lady Day
You could call on John Coltrane
They'll wash your troubles your troubles
Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles
Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
Your troubles your troubles your troubles your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
They'll wash your troubles away
