(Verse 1)
When the moonlight hits the water, and the night is deep and still,
I feel the shadows creepin', my heart begins to chill.
There's a lonesome in my soul, and the stars don't seem so bright,
Got the midnight blues, can't shake 'em off tonight.
(Chorus)
Oh, the midnight blues, they're callin' out my name,
In the silence of the night, they're stokin' up the flame.
With every note I play, and every tear I cry,
The midnight blues, they linger by and by.
(Verse 2)
Lost in memories, that haunt the darkened sky,
Of love that's gone and faded, left me here to sigh.
I walk these empty streets, where shadows softly creep,
With the midnight blues, they cut me oh so deep.
(Chorus)
Oh, the midnight blues, they're callin' out my name,
In the silence of the night, they're stokin' up the flame.
With every note I play, and every tear I cry,
The midnight blues, they linger by and by.
(Bridge)
I find solace in the rhythm, in the pain that's deep inside,
With my guitar in my hands, it's my only guide.
Strummin' through the heartache, singin' out my woes,
The midnight blues, it's the path I chose.
(Chorus)
Oh, the midnight blues, they're callin' out my name,
In the silence of the night, they're stokin' up the flame.
With every note I play, and every tear I cry,
The midnight blues, they linger by and by.
(Outro)
When the dawn breaks through, and the night begins to fade,
I'll still carry these blues, like a debt unpaid.
But until that light shines, and the sun breaks through the sky,
I'll sing my midnight blues, till the day I die.
