Midnight Diners - edivieira
The neon signs flicker in the midnight air
Greasy stains on the counter chairs
Coffee buzz and a jukebox croons
Spinning stories in the shattered moons
Late night crowd with their hungry eyes
Chasing dreams beneath the starless skies
With their smiles in their apron worn
Serving hopes till the break of dawn
In the midnight diners where time don't sleep
Lost souls gather secrets they keep
Chasing shadows in the smoky lights
Living out their wildest nights
Chef in the kitchen flipping dreams with ease
A pot of gold and a plate of cheese
Napkin wishes penned with haste
Spoons and forks in a frantic race
Truckers whisper tales of the open road
Lightening burdens that they unload
Lonely hearts find a place to mend
In a booth where the journey ends
In the midnight diners where time don't sleep
Lost souls gather secrets they keep
Chasing shadows in the smoky lights
Living out their wildest nights
