[Intro] Midnight hangs low like smoke in the room Streetlights flicker, painting everything blue One saxophone crying somewhere down the block City holding its breath, waiting on the clock [Verse 1] Rain on the window, coffee gone cold Stories in the shadows that never get told I walk where the neon barely reaches the street Every face got a rhythm, every silence got a beat Old soul in a young man's frame Everybody wants love but nobody says the name Cab rolls past, then the avenue goes still Wolf in the darkness, thinking what he will Piano notes drifting from a basement door I hear somebody playing like they've been here before No drums for a moment, just the weight of the night Sometimes the quiet tells you more than the light [Hook] Wolf City Blues Got that midnight running through my veins Wolf City Blues Every lonely street remembers every name No need to howl, the whole town knows Where the cold wind blows, the wolf still goes Wolf City Blues Finding something beautiful inside the gray [Verse 2] Smoke curls slow underneath the fire escape Old photographs and memories I can't escape A trumpet whispers from a room upstairs Like somebody confessing all their unanswered prayers I learned that trust don't always make a sound Sometimes it's one shadow when nobody's around Sometimes it's a hand when the whole world turns cold Sometimes it's knowing what you never got told City keeps secrets underneath concrete skin Everybody loses, everybody tries again I don't chase the noise, I listen to the space There's a thousand hidden stories in an empty place [Hook] Wolf City Blues Got that midnight running through my veins Wolf City Blues Every lonely street remembers every name No need to howl, the whole town knows Where the cold wind blows, the wolf still goes Wolf City Blues Finding something beautiful inside the gray [Bridge] Let the bassline breathe Let the silence speak Moonlight on the pavement Nothing left to seek [Verse 3] Morning ain't here but I can feel it coming Bass in the distance, hear the city humming I carry my scars but they don't carry me Still walking through the dark till the dark lets me be One last note hangs over the avenue Blue turns silver as the sky comes through No grand finale, just footsteps fading slow The city keeps moving, and the wolf still knows [Outro] No howl tonight… Just the sound of rain. Wolf City Blues.
