The night is mild
the air is still
No empty void
no overspill
I walk the line between the tides
No rush to move
no place to hide
The lights are low along the street
No bitter end
no sweet complete
I breathe the calm beneath my skin
Just simple now
just where I've been
No rising high
no falling low
No wind to chase
no fire to glow
I stay within the steady flow
The quiet blues I always know
I got that still groove in my bones
No broken dreams
no shining thrones
Saxophone sings
A neutral song I've always known
I ride the blues right on my own
No tears to fall
no joy to show
Slow and soft
the rhythm rolls
Just steady soul
just steady soul
The clock turns slow without a sound
No lost regret
no joy unbound
The world moves on in simple rounds
No new beginning
no final ground
I watch the shadows shift and blend
No broken heart
no perfect end
I hold the peace within my chest
A quiet calm
unforced
unblessed
No rising high
no falling low
No wind to chase
no fire to glow
I stay within the steady flow
The quiet blues I always know
I got that still groove in my bones
No broken dreams
no shining thrones
Saxophone sings
A neutral song I've always known
I ride the blues right on my own
No tears to fall
no joy to show
Slow and soft
the rhythm rolls
Just steady soul
