Blue whinning guitars br Greet shimmering stars- br It's mercy the night brings br To forget the day, in the evening blues I sing- br Arise distant and dark moon br Open despairs tomb- br Melancholy, like water passes through me br I am the rough and windy sea- br The night's a gutter br Gathering and consuming each days clutter- br It's there alone in the dark br Things so easily come apart- br Drenched in the blues br While trying to muse- br Two lives I live br The night takes, what the life of day gives- br It's humanities eternal war... br Ravaged to the core- br Evil vs. good... and if you ever face it, br You'll be so misunderstood- br Everything is fine br If you're good... and blind- br But, if you want to know what's real and true br It's gonna cost you- br Maybe I can fake it in the light of day br Put on a mask... pretend it's all o.k.- br But the dark of night br Brings out the true blight- br Melancholy comes calling br When the lights start falling- br It's just the way it's going to be br These old night time blues and me- br So, I'll just let it go br Take a little mercy where I can, br Whatever grace it takes br To pass on through, this darkened land.
