Sitting in the living room in the early-morning hours with the midnight blue curtains drawn was surely partially responsible for this song springing into life...
lyrics
Midnight Blue
Sitting here alone,
Memories won’t let go,
Most nights around this time
I get to feeling kind of low,
A shade of midnight blue.
Heart’s been badly hurt,
Bridges sadly burned,
Since you left it seems like
Everything around me’s turned
A shade of midnight blue.
Deep and dark,
And so intense,
It’s faithful and familiar
As a late-night-drinking friend,
You’re never coming back,
There’s no more me and you,
The only thing remaining
Is a melancholy shade of midnight blue.
Didn’t have the sense,
To try to make amends,
And now I’m filled with deep regret
That this is how it ends,
A shade of midnight blue.
Deep and dark,
And so intense,
It’s faithful and familiar
As a late-night-drinking friend,
You’re never coming back,
There’s no more me and you,
The only thing remaining
Is a melancholy shade of midnight blue.
Midnight blue is all around me,
It’s in my heart and in my soul,
It’s a solitary state of mind
I never thought I’d know.
Deep and dark,
And so intense,
It’s faithful and familiar
As a late-night-drinking friend,
You’re never coming back,
There’s no more me and you,
The only thing remaining
Is a melancholy shade of midnight blue,
A never-changing shade of midnight blue.
