Midnight Strings

I walk these streets

Where the shadows know my name

Acoustic strains

Keep telling me I'm still the same

Everyone I've caught up

Holds a memory in the air

I sing to the moon

Let it answer my prayer

Oh, the blues come slow

Like thunder in my chest

But my voice keeps humming

Won't let my heart rest

With a little bit talk and a whole lot of truth

I can turn my hurt into a song for you

Coffee's cold, but the car in me stays alive

I've been down so long

Still I'm learning how to rise

Every crack in the silence

Got a story to reveal

And every aching note

Helps the wound start to heal

Oh, the blues come slow like thunder in my chest

But my voice keeps humming, won't let my heart rest

With a little guitar and a whole lot of truth

I can turn my hurt into a song for you

If tomorrow brings a darker shade of gray

I'll let the strings keep leading me all the way

'Cause even broken dreams can learn to glow

When a lonely heart keeps time and lets it show

Oh, the blues come slow like thunder in my chest

But my voice keeps humming, won't let my heart rest

With a little bit of talk and a whole lot of truth

I can turn my hurt into a song for you

I can turn my shirt into a song for you
