Midnight found me walking down this empty street
With another lonely heartbeat keeping time beneath my feet
The stars keep shining but they couldn't hide the truth
Every step I take still brings me back to you
The saxophone answers every lie with long aching melodies
The moon hangs high watching over every tear
While the saxophone cries the words I need to hear
I've got those midnight blues, they keep pulling me back to you
When the world falls silent and the sky turns black
The saxophone keeps calling and my heart looks back
These midnight blues won't let me sleep
Your memory still runs so deep
Till the morning sun breaks through
I'm still living with these midnight blues
Rain keeps falling on these old downtown lights
Every lonely corner brings another restless night
The wind keeps whispering stories of yesterday
While the saxophone carries every word I cannot say
If love could find its way back home tonight
Maybe these midnight blues would finally lose their fight
I've got those midnight blues, they keep pulling me back to you
Every lonely echo fills this empty room
The saxophone keeps singing through the midnight gloom
These midnight blues won't fade away
They're with me every night and every day
Till the dawn paints the sky brand new
I'll still be singing these midnight blues
The night stands still, the city fades away
Only the heartbeat, only the memory
Only the saxophone telling the story my heart can't say
Oh, my heart can't say
I've got those midnight blues, and every note still leads to you
Though tomorrow waits beyond the night
Your memory still burns so bright
These midnight blues will always stay
Until my last goodbye someday
When the first light shines the morning through
You'll still hear me singing these midnight blues
Ooh, these midnight blues
Oh
