(Verse 1)
In a dusty pawn shop, down on Canal Street
Past the broken amps and souvenirs of defeat
Sat a six-string beauty, nobody saw the shine
Worn mahogany and a mystical design
The guitar was a must-have, known to the wise
Just a voice in the wood, beneath a tired eye
Scraping up the last dollar, leaving a watch behind
Leaving with that old guitar, in a new state of mind
(Chorus)
Midnight Sun, that was her name
She sang like a siren and burned like a flame
Midnight Sun, she knew what was in store
And with every strum, she gave more and more
Oh, the city slept, but they stayed up late
Tuned to a frequency beyond heavens gate
(Verse 2)
Faded fret markers and a missing inlay
But when fingers touched her, she had so much to say
No amplifier needed, no cables to plug in
Just a pure electric feeling, from the soul deep within
She howled like a highway, whispered like the breeze
Put the crowds on their feet and brought them to their knees
(Chorus)
Midnight Sun, that was her name
She sang like a siren and burned like a flame
Midnight Sun, she knew what was in store
And with every strum, she gave more and more
Oh, the city slept, but they stayed up late
Tuned to a frequency beyond heavens gate
(Guitar Solo)
(Bridge)
Some said it was a devil's deal, but it didn't matter
She looked beautiful in teal
Felt the cosmic energy flowing through the sound
The most perfect song ever heard on hallowed ground
Yeah, she whispered the secrets that the darkness knows
From the Mississippi Delta where the sweet music grows
(Chorus)
Midnight Sun, that was her name
She sang like a siren and burned like a flame
Midnight Sun, she knew what was in store
And with every strum, she gave more and more
Oh, the city slept, but they stayed up late
Tuned to a frequency beyond heavens gate
(Outro)
Yeah, a special guitar, a legend of the street
The one with the music, and the mojo, in her feet
Play on, Midnight Sun! Oh yeah...
