hi jayden

[Verse 1]

The moon is hanging crooked in a bruised and purple sky

I’m sitting with this Gibson just to watch the hours go by

The coffee’s cold as charity, the whiskey’s running low

And there’s nowhere left for a broken man to go

[Chorus]

Oh, the strings are humming secrets that I never meant to tell

Between the rhythm of the rain and this lonesome ringing bell

It’s a twelve-bar sentence, a life without a key

Just neon dust and hollow wood, and the ghost of you and me

[Verse 2]

I’ve worn a canyon in the fretboard where your name used to reside

Funny how a piece of timber holds the tears I try to hide

Every bend is like a heartbeat that’s skipping out of time

Every slide down to the bottom is a mountain I can’t climb

[Bridge]

I tried to play it happy, I tried to play it fast

But the blues don't like the future, they only love the past

One more minor chord to catch the falling of the light

One more jagged melody to get me through the night

[Chorus]

Oh, the strings are humming secrets that I never meant to tell

Between the rhythm of the rain and this lonesome ringing bell

It’s a twelve-bar sentence, a life without a key

Just neon dust and hollow wood, and the ghost of you and me

[Outro]

Yeah, the ghost of you and me

Just a hollow piece of wood...

Let the last note bleed...

Let it bleed.
