Letra Soul mining Leo Sayer

Soul mining

Hey, baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Ooh
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on

I remember the day that brother Marvin died
I played all his records and I cried and cried
Inner City Holler and Let's Get It On
Livin' in a time that has passed and gone

I've been soul mining, digging for gold
There's a lot of us searching, so I've been told
Tamla, Stax and Atco, don't never get old
Soul searching something hot from the cold

Hey listen to Aretha, she's the queen of soul
The way she hits the high notes, but keeps that control
It's the sound of mercy, it's the sound of love
It's a soul power, comin' in from above

When they sing out for glory
Raise voices in praiseI wanna join that chorus
I wanna ride that train
And every problem, just melts away
I can deal with it all, I can be so brave

I'm just soul mining, digging for gold
Don't never get tired, don't never get old
Soul mining, going back in time
To when I was yours, and baby you were mine

I'm going back to my youth, to the good old days
When we all stood together with our voices raised
I'm so thankful for it all, for the grace of God
We had everything then, that a boy could want

When they sing out for glory
Raise voices in praise
I wanna join that chorus
I wanna ride that train
And every problem, just melts away
I can deal with it all, I can be so brave

Oh yeah, that's right

I've been soul mining, digging for gold
Searching my records, showing my soul
Learning about love from Nat King Cole
Dancing my life away to Kid Creole
