Phoenix Motel - Midnight North

Sitting on the corner bout midnight

The shadows hanging long and low

Your bloodshot eyes meet me with surprise

Guess there’s something we both didn’t know

Split of a second to answer

Less than a moment that to act

The scarlet skies left you drowning in lies

And now there ain’t a chance that you’re coming back

It’s a long way home

When you’re tired and you’re cold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

It’s a long, long, road

When your soul you went and sold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

Suspicions arise in the evenings

Too many questions to speak

I’m feeling faint when in the morning you ain’t

Laying in the bed next to me

The click of my heels makes you weary

You thought you gotten off scott free

I found a key to the Phoenix motel

It was buried our old love seat

It’s a long way home

When you’re tired and you’re cold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

It’s a long, long, road

When your soul you went and sold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

A long cold walk down that old dark pier

Waves hit the walls and wash over my fear

Long lost call to that wild black sea

Must have made you forget about me

It’s a long way home

When you’re tired and you’re cold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

It’s a long, long, road

When your soul you went and sold

It’s a long, long, way back home.

It’s a long, long, way back home.

It’s a long, long, way back home
