Midnight on My Mind (Blues)

slide) Ohhh, yeah… Mmm-hmm… (Bassline kicks in, steady and groovy) [Verse 1] The clock strikes twelve, and I’m all alone, This empty house, it don’t feel like home. The whiskey’s strong, but it won’t erase, The memory of you, your touch, your face. Every shadow’s whisperin’ your name, Every night it’s the same old pain. I’m trapped in this midnight maze, Hoping to find you through the haze. [Chorus] (Soulful and powerful) Midnight’s got my heart on a string, Pullin’ me back to everything. The love we lost, the flame that died, But I still see you in the moonlit sky. Midnight on my mind, can’t let it go, The deeper the blues, the harder it shows. [Verse 2] The jukebox plays our favorite tune, But it cuts like a knife under the pale-lit moon. Every note, every chord, every line, Brings me closer to what I left behind. I’ve walked these streets, I’ve cried these tears, Been haunted by you for all these years. But the blues don’t lie, and neither do I, Still chasing the ghost of a long-lost goodbye. [Chorus] (Building intensity) Midnight’s got my heart on a string, Pullin’ me back to everything. The love we lost, the flame that died, But I still see you in the moonlit sky. Midnight on my mind, can’t let it go, The deeper the blues, the harder it shows. [Bridge] (Slow and emotional) (Soft guitar solo with organ in the background) Oh, the blues are my only friend, They hold me close when the nights won’t end. I tell myself to let you go, But midnight’s where your shadow shows. (Vocal ad-libs with harmonica fills) Ooooh… yeah… [Final Chorus] (Big and emotional) Midnight’s got my heart on a string, Pullin’ me back to everything. The love we lost, the flame that died, But I still see you in the moonlit sky. Midnight on my mind, can’t let it go, The deeper the blues, the harder it shows. [Outro] (Stripped down, just guitar and vocals) Ohhh,
