The clock on the wall says quarter to three
The only light is the moon and the whiskey in me
The saxophone player packs up his case
But the melody lingers all over this place
Smoke curls up toward the ceiling fan
I'm trying to understand
Midnight blue the color of the blues I'm feeling
Midnight blue every note is healing
Just a man and his memories
A cigarette and the evening breeze
Midnight blue
The piano keys are black and white
Same as the truth I've been trying to write
She walked out when spring began
Now autumn leaves fall like a gentle plan
Midnight blue the color of the blues I'm feeling
Midnight blue every note is healing
Some songs never end
They just fade into the wind
Like the love I had for you
In every shade of midnight blue
Yeah midnight blue the band plays on
