Silken Midnight Whispers

Woke up this morning Feeling low and blue My baby's gone Left me with nothing to do Rain's falling heavy Like tears from my eyes Heart's aching deep Under these stormy skies Oh, the blues come calling They won't let me be Lost my sweet darling Now it's just me Misery Well, I'll rise up Singing through the pain and the fight Redemption's waiting on the other side Work my hands off Chasing dreams in the dust Pockets are empty But my spirit's robust She whispered goodbye In the dead of the night Betrayal's a shadow Stealing all my life Oh, the blues come calling They won't let me be Lost my sweet darling Now it's just misery But I'll rise up Singing through the pain and the fight Redemption's waiting on the other side Solitude's chained up While the hurt runs so deep It's the fire that forges The soul that we keep She took my trusty rose Searching for peace She took my trusty rose In the quiet of night The answer's release Nights grow longer Memories haunt like a ghost Hardship's my companion But I fear it the most Introspection whispers Let the old pains go Love's a wild river But I fear it the most But redemption will flow Oh, the blues come calling They won't let me be Lost my sweet darling Now it's just misery But I'll rise up Singing through the pain and the fight Redemption's waiting on the other side Solitude's chained They rattle in the wind But resilience builds Where the broken ones mend Left me bruised and alone Yet in this sorrow A new strength is grown It's the fire that forges The soul that we keep She took my trusty rose Searching for peace Nights grow longer Hardship's my companion Let the old pains go Love's a wild river Let the old pains go Left me bruised and alone Lost my sweet darling Now it's just misery But I'll rise up Singing through the pain and the fight Redemption's waiting on the other side Redemption's calling Soft and kind Leaving the darkness far behind But I fear it the most Can't work on breaking Light chasing the gloom I'll walk these miles Find my own room They've shaped who I am In the blues and breeze I reclaim what I can Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
