"Midnight Blue" lyrics

Jim White & Trey Blake Lyrics

"Midnight Blue"

All the light's gone out of me
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I'm so far away from you
My Midnight Blue on the other side of the sea

I hung by a thread on your every word
Dying behind these walls in my lonely world

Walking on thin ice, my soul's in splinters
Like a million winters that never saw the spring
All the magic flown away now pours down from the sky
Full of heavens diamond silver and the ghosts of orchids breathing

You stood there, thirsting, naked? Oh well, baby, so did I
We're fallen angels wearing halos made of neon light

Darlin' know I'm with you when you're weeping
My soul is keeping
Your soul in mine
And though we never touch you are my true love
My Midnight Blue love
'Til the end of time

Lay my lilies at your feet now and ever more
Darlin' know there is no other I am waiting for

You were the one with the power to make every word shine
Like a star whose light still falls through endless time
On a small lost world that aches enveloped in blueness
For in loves trueness you were mine

You were like the ghost of moonlight fallen on my heart
The stone rolled back, the resurrection of the soul returned from dark

Now the morning comes in gold and the night, she draws away
To hide her nakedness... from the day.
And I sing you my song though you won't hear it
I pray God's spirit will light your way

I love you, my Midnight Blue
I love you, my Midnight Blue
My Midnight Blue
