Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Moonlight on the jukebox, I'm callin' your name,
Neon halo flickers — the night's got a different flame.
Cigarette ash falls like slow-falling snow,
An empty chair keeps secrets of the place we used to go.
[Pre-Chorus]
The record crackles, the room leans in close,
My heart clicks the needle where the lonely groove goes.
[Chorus]
These midnight blues, they cut so deep,
River runs out back and it steals my sleep.
Stay in the doorway, don't close that door,
Let the train roll longer — one last ride before.
[Verse 2]
Your laugh was a sax line that lingered in smoke,
Slide notes remember every promise we spoke.
My fingertips trace the rim of an ice-cold glass,
While the clock keeps stealing moments from the past.
[Pre-Chorus]
The bartender hums a line I used to know,
Walking bass keeps time with the ache in my soul.
[Instrumental Solo — 12-bar]
(Place for muted trumpet / tenor sax and slide guitar to wail)
[Bridge]
Neon sign hangs like a halo over spilled things,
Every laugh and every tear folds into the rings.
I keep your photograph folded in the inside of my coat,
And through every note, your memory floats.
[Chorus — Variation]
These midnight blues, they cut so deep,
River runs under the bridge where I can't sleep.
Stay in the doorway, don't close that door,
Hold the light for me — let me come home once more.
[Outro]
Play that muted trumpet 'til the morning peels the night,
Let the bass walk steady through the last blue light.
I'll keep callin' your name where the jukebox still hums,
'Cause in the hush of these blues, I wait till morning comes.
