The glass is heavy in my hand tonight
A lonely shadow in this dim bar light
The weight of the world on my tired old chair
Dreams slipping away into the smoky air
Oh the night hums low with a sweet
Sad tune
Melody circles ‘neath the heavy moon
A story of sorrow that cuts me deep
I’ll play it again before I fall asleep
The floorboards moan with my worn-out shoes
Echoes of time wrapped in midnight blues
Eyes on the clock but the hands won't care
They say you're gone now
But it’s not clear where
Oh the night hums low with a sweet
Sad tune
Melody circles ‘neath the heavy moon
A story of sorrow that cuts me deep
I’ll play it again before I fall asleep
Notes come alive like a heart that skips
Each one whispers from your missing lips
A distant cry down the alley it sings
A ghost in my chest pulls dusty strings
The amber swirls
My mind does too
Searching for the soul I once called you
The tune of regret spins round my glass
Hoping the music might let it pass
Oh the night hums low with a sweet
Sad tune
Melody circles ‘neath the heavy moon
A story of sorrow that cuts me deep
I’ll play it again before I fall asleep
