midnight blues

i don't have them (the midnight blues). but this is one my favourite gary moore songs and, well, it is midnight. so i thought it's appropriate to post the lyrics here. if you haven't listened to it (and you are still stuck with "still got the blues" like 99.9% of the people i know) you have to listen to it.

some great memories with gary moore music in the background there. one that tops the list is crossing the croat-serbian border in the summer of 2004, with heavy rain, while on the steering wheel, and the music playing in the car. photo below is from that era...


It's the darkest hour of the darkest night.
It's a million miles from the morning light.

Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.

When the shadows fall, I feel the night closing in.
There must be some reason for this mood I'm getting in.

Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.

Every evening after sundown, as the light begins to fade.
I feel so low, but I just don't know why these blues won't go away.

I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.

here's a video with a live version. some great guitar solos in there, as always.
