The Thing About Jazz
The thing about Jazz
Is that it was the hottest it had been all year
The door was open
Carrying Spring in
And our music out
The thing about Jazz
Is that the sun was so bright
When he told us he got kicked out
The thing about Jazz
Is that we still played
Through tears
The thing about Jazz
Is that we were laughing
And smiling
We joked through our solos
Provided the shelter we could for an hour
The thing about jazz
Is that he didn't have his guitar
So he just sat with us
The thing about jazz
Is that he never came back
But we kept the door open all spring
