Midnight Confession

That neon Sun is flickering
The night is almost through
I'm drowning this tired soul of mine
In a dirt glass or two

I played the wrong hand, baby
I lost everything I owned
Traded a love that was true
For a ghost that I had known

This cigarette smoke hides my face
Shadows dancing on the wall
It's just another midnight confession
Trying to answer sorrow's call
A thug for a pardon
That I know ain't never gonna come
While the city is fast asleep
I'm waiting for the Sun

The barman don't even look my way
Just shakes his head and goes
He knows a story like mine
Is a death that a man froze

Maybe the Sun will rise tomorrow
And wash away this guilty stain
But tonight there's darkness is my prison
And the blues is calling my name

This cigarette smoke hides my face
Shadows dancing on the wall
It's just another midnight confession
Trying to answer sorrow's call
A thug for a pardon
That I know ain't never gonna come
While the city is fast asleep
I'm waiting for the Sun

The neon light
Flickers and fades
This empty glass
This midnight confession
Fades away
