Midnight Blues

The moon hangs low like a lover’s sigh

Shadows stretch

But they don’t reply

I’m talkin’ to the walls

They just stare me down

Oh

These midnight blues

They follow me home

Midnight blues

They won’t leave me alone

I call out to the darkness

But it’s colder than stone

The clock ticks slow like it’s mocking my pain

Every tock feels heavy

Every tick’s a chain

I try to break free

But it’s all in vain

Whiskey whispers secrets I can’t unhear

The echoes of my past still linger near

Oh

These midnight blues

They follow me home

Midnight blues

They won’t leave me alone

I call out to the darkness

But it’s colder than stone

I wear regret like a coat that don’t fit

Every step I take just deepens the pit

The stars are watching

But they don’t care a bit
