Seals & Crofts — Midnight Blue lyrics

Lyrics

Ain’t no sorrow for that woman
Ain’t no pity for this fool
She wrote her name upon my window
Signed it, «Gone, with love, midnight blue»
There’s a story goin' 'round here
'Bout a woman dressed in black
Spendin' money and drinkin' whiskey
Drivin' 'round in my big black Cadillac
There’s a shanty down by the river
They say she went there to meet a friend
They found his body beneath the willows
She signed it, «Gone, with love, midnight blue»
There’s a jail house down in this county
With its windows, oh, so high
They’re gonna hang me come Monday morning
Write my soul, midnight blue, across the sky
Now if I ever get to heaven, I’ll look St. Peter in the eye
And say don’t you ever let that woman ever appear
She’s Satan’s daughter, in shades of midnight blue
