Laura Veirs - That Alice lyrics

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
