From the recording Midnight on my mind

Lyrics

[Intro]
It's a heavy night, shadows playing tricks on me
Moonlight's creeping in, just like memories

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the porch, a whiskey in my hand
Stars above are blinking, got no one to understand
Thoughts of you come rolling like a midnight train
Each drop of sorrow falls like a steady rain

[Chorus]
Got midnight on my mind, baby, can’t you see?
Every hour feels like an eternity
Your laughter's like a whisper, lost in the night
I'm just searching for your light, oh, ain't it a fight?

[Verse 2]
Remember all those promises we made in the dark?
Dancing in the moonlight, you were my spark
Now I'm lost in shadows, where the wild winds blow
The echoes keep reminding me, things I just can't let go

[Chorus]
Got midnight on my mind, baby, feels like slow poison
Each tick of the clock reminds me you’ve chosen
To walk away from dreams we thought were so bright
I’m sitting here alone, just holding on tight

[Bridge]
Love was my vice, but now it's a chain
Got me singing the blues, like a ballad of pain
Sipping on these memories, drownin' them slow
Searching for redemption, hoping you’d know

[Verse 3]
Midnight calls me again, whispers soft and low
Says you’re just a shadow in a life I used to know
But I can’t let it end, can't let it fade away
I’ll keep pouring out my heart in this blues so gray

[Outro]
So I sit here, baby, with midnight on my mind
Waiting for the dawn, for that sweet love to rewind
But until that day comes, I’ll sing my song alone
With the blues on my shoulder and the night as my home
