Midnight Dust

Blues Rock Ballad. Southern vibe. One of our original blues rock pieces from my first time around with the band. Recorded in 2013 I think. My young voice was a lot stronger than it is now. Lyrics Midnight Dust Copyright 2012 Morgan St. James Verse 1 Blacktop bleeding under neon rain Diesel dreams and a runaway train Hands worn rough from the weight of the day But your dark eyes burn and pull me your way Steel-toe footsteps echo through my mind Like a low-tuned guitar I can’t leave behind You wear heartbreak like an old brown coat And every slow word cuts deep in my throat Pre-Chorus Ohhhh… You move like thunder rolling through the pines Ohhhh… A hard-life angel dressed in workman’s lines Chorus And I keep falling Into the blue flame of your soul Slow burn calling Like whiskey trying to take control You got dust on your boots Fire in your veins Love like a storm cloud Coming down again Baby hold me close tonight Before this world goes cold Verse 2 Radio crying some old sad song We drive for miles and the night rolls on Your long black hair in the window wind Makes me believe I could live again Every scar got a story to tell Every kiss tastes a little like hell But your touch keeps dragging me through The wreckage of the things I used to do Pre-Chorus Ohhhh… Your shadow dances in the dashboard light Ohhhh… A lonely queen born for the fight Chorus And I keep falling Into the blue flame of your soul Slow burn calling Like whiskey trying to take control You got dust on your boots Fire in your veins Love like a storm cloud Coming down again Baby hold me close tonight Before this world goes cold Bridge Lead guitar crying like a midnight train Minor-key heartache wrapped in chain If loving you’s a long dark road I’ll carry every mile you hold Final Chorus Yeah I keep falling Into the deep end of your fire Soul keeps calling Taking me higher and higher Dust on your boots Moonlight on your skin Every time you leave me I pull you back again Baby don’t let go tonight Don’t let this feeling die Outro Blacktop fading into dawn But your memory keeps rolling on…
