Midnight on the Empty Highway

Lyrics

[INTRO] Dust on the strings, a lone echo of rain The town's lights flicker, but I keep walking [VERSE 1] The highway stretches like a wound in the night I ride with the shadows that hide my past A cigarette burns, the smell of cold wind My boots leave prints that never fade [CHORUS] Oh, sweet sorrow, you’re my quiet companion You whisper in the wind, a slow song in my heart The old town's lullaby keeps playing in my mind And I keep walking, but the road is long [VERSE 2] I hear the humming of an old acoustic guitar A gentle rhythm, like a breath of winter The bass drags, the drums keep the pulse of the world Yet the darkness keeps us in its grip [CHORUS] Oh, sweet sorrow, you’re my quiet companion You whisper in the wind, a slow song in my heart The old town's lullaby keeps playing in my mind And I keep walking, but the road is long [BRIDGE] In the night, I see the ghost of the old man He sings about lost love, the ache of time The guitar hums, the rhythm stays in the rhythm I feel the beat of the heart [CHORUS] Oh, sweet sorrow, you’re my quiet companion You whisper in the wind, a slow song in my heart The old town's lullaby keeps playing in my mind And I keep walking, but the road is long [OUTRO] The song fades into the night I keep walking, but the road is long
