[Verse]
The rain taps soft on my windowpane
It whispers tales of love and pain
My shadow dances in the candle's glow
The night’s a river where the sorrow flows
[Verse 2]
A bottle of whiskey sits by my side
It holds my secrets I’ve tried to hide
The clock is ticking but time feels still
The blues keep rolling they always will
[Chorus]
Oh midnight blues you're my only friend
You haunt my heart till the bitter end
You play your tune in the darkened skies
A melody made of tears and lies
[Verse 3]
The city sleeps but my soul won’t rest
A hollow ache lingers in my chest
The streetlights flicker like a dying flame
The world keeps turning but it’s not the same
[Bridge]
I scream at the moon but it don’t reply
It just stares cold from the empty sky
The stars don’t shimmer they just fade away
Lost in the echo of yesterday
[Chorus]
Oh midnight blues you're my only friend
You haunt my heart till the bitter end
You play your tune in the darkened skies
A melody made of tears and lies
