In the shadows where the heartache plays,
I take my midnight stroll down these dusty ways,
With a rusted harmony whisperin' low,
Underneath the velvet sky, where lost dreams go.
The moonlit breeze, it carries my blues,
As I sip on memories from a broken bottle's muse,
Delta rain falling softly like a lover's sigh,
Each drop a reminder of the years gone by.
Echoes of laughter turn to solemn tunes,
In the silence, I find the ghosts of forgotten boons.
The streets are empty, but my heart still screams,
Chasin' the twilight, lost in faded dreams.
Every step I take feels like a step too far,
Chasin’ shadows ‘neath the last glow of the star,
That rusted harmony, it plays on repeat,
With the velvet shadow, it drags at my feet.
But I won't give in to the weight of despair,
Through the Delta rain, I’ll find my way there,
With each broken bottle, I'll raise a toast high,
To the stories of the night that refuse to die.
So I’ll keep on walkin’ ‘neath that silver glow,
Through the rusted notes and the wind's soft flow,
Even as the midnight fades into dawn's gentle light,
I’ll carry the blues with me, till the morning's bright.
As I take my final steps in this endless game,
I’ll find my peace under the stars’ quiet flame.
With a heart full of music and a mind so free,
This midnight stroll taught me how to be me.
