Midnight Canyon Blues

[Verse 1]
The canyon yawns
A shadowed jaw
Midnight whispers
No time for awe
Moon climbs slow
Her silver thread
Lights the cracks where echoes fled
[Chorus]
Oh
Moonrise
You steal my gaze
But can’t fill this hollow maze
Homesick heart
It’s torn in two
Midnight Canyon
I’m lost in you
[Verse 2]
Harmonica wails
The lonesome call
Like ghosts that dance on the canyon wall
Country roads hum inside my mind
A melody for the left behind
[Prechorus]
The stars don’t ask
They simply burn
Each one a lesson I’ll never learn
[Chorus]
Oh
Moonrise
You steal my gaze
But can’t fill this hollow maze
Homesick heart
It’s torn in two
Midnight Canyon
I’m lost in you
[Bridge]
Jagged edges
Red dust’s haze
Memories murmur through the blaze
The moon
She stares
A quiet queen
But my heart’s still stuck where grass is green
