[Verse 1]
FmMidnight, moonlight
FmThe wind blows off Saint Clair
FmI'm stuck at a red light, waiting
FmAt 6 Mile & Delaware
FmThe sound of a distant Firebird
FmThe echo of a rhyme - Smokey's words
FmAnd absence, sweet absence
FmFills the freezing air
[Verse 2]
I've been Fmwayside for years now
But Ebno one seems to care
Their eyes on the Bbdistant horizon
I Dbdrove them out of here
I Fmgave you the American dream
And the mEbusic for your movie scene
But you Bbleft me, bleeding
So Dblisten to my prayer

[Verse 1]

Midnight, moonlight

The wind blows off Saint Clair

I'm stuck at a red light, waiting

At 6 Mile & Delaware

The sound of a distant Firebird

The echo of a rhyme - Smokey's words

And absence, sweet absence

Fills the freezing air

[Verse 2]

I've been wayside for years now

But no one seems to care

Their eyes on the distant horizon

I drove them out of here

I gave you the American dream

And the music for your movie scene

But you left me, bleeding

So listen to my prayer
