Broken Soul Song - Soul Blues Icon
I woke up with the rain outside
And your memory on my mind
Somewhere between the dark and dawn
I left my peace behind
My old guitar was by the window
Its strings are worn and low
Every chord remembers something
That I was too afraid to show
A broken soul can still remember
Even when the heart says no
This is my broken soul song
Crying underneath the rain
Every note carries a memory
Every chord carries the pain
I can walk a thousand highways
I can leave the past behind
But this broken soul keeps singing
What I can't leave behind
The whiskey glass is almost empty
The neon fades to blue
I've spent too many lonely nights
Trying not to think of you
Your photograph is fading slowly
But your eyes remain the same
Some loves leave when people do
Some stay inside the rain
Let the six string cry my sorrow
Let the hum fill the room
I've carried all this heartache
Through too many nights of gloom
Maybe every broken piece
Can find another way
Maybe what we lose in darkness
Can become our strength someday
This is my broken soul song
But it won't bury me
Every scar became a lesson
Every tear taught me to see
I'll keep the love that mattered
Let the old pain move along
My soul may still be broken
But it keeps singing its song
The morning light comes through the window
The rain begins to fade
A broken soul can still find peace
One song at a time
