Midnight River Blues

In the midnight glow of a southern night Where the cotton fields Our voices rise like a river's fight Carrying pain and fight stories untold They stomp steep in the chest like a heartbeat Drums echo the steps of the weary and free Electric strings through the heat Sing in the blues There's a spirit to flee Oh, rhythm and blues You pull me under Soulful cries in the blue Thunder wonder From the roots of our kin African fire, emotional waves Lifting us higher Smooth as the dawn on a lover's skin Melodies bending where the healing begins All in me, you're the pulse in my veins Washing the sorrow, breaking the chains Horns cry out like a call to the lost Keyboards hum with the weight of the years And every syncopated beat We've crossed oceans of struggle Drowning our fears Voices entwined in a sensual sway Intimate whispers of lust in the vape Melancholy grooves like the wave Through the shadows where hearts finally wake Oh, rhythm and blues You pull me under Soulful cries in the blue Thunder wonder From the roots of our kin African fire, emotional waves Lifting us higher Smooth as the dawn on a lover's skin Melodies bending where the healing begins All in me, you're the pulse in my veins Washing the sorrow, breaking the chains Feeling numb, a groove that won't fade Polished and raw in the night we've laid Vocal fire, rhythm and embrace From motel dreams to neo soul grace Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Intimate truths where we all belong From the roots of our kin African fire, emotional waves Lifting us higher Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song Yeah, we're the echo of ancestors' song We're the echo of ancestors' song
