Midnight Blues

Walking down the alley where the shadows play
Moonlight whispers secrets that it won't betray
My heart’s a heavy anchor dragging through the night
Chasing after something that’s nowhere in sight

Oh the midnight blues they’re calling my name
A tune so haunting it puts my soul to shame
I’m dancing with the darkness beneath the pale moon
Singing with the echoes of a lonesome tune

Footsteps on the pavement they don’t make a sound
The city’s ghostly whispers are the only thing around
Every breath I take feels like a losing game
The midnight blues they’ve got me in their chain

Streetlights flicker like a heartbeat gone astray
Fading in the distance where the memories lay
Each note from the guitar cuts deeper than the past
The midnight blues they’re here and they’re built to last

Oh the midnight blues they’re calling my name
A tune so haunting it puts my soul to shame
I’m dancing with the darkness beneath the pale moon
Singing with the echoes of a lonesome tune

The night will fade but the blues will stay
A melody of sorrow that won’t go away
So I walk with the shadows and hum the refrain
The midnight blues will always remain
