Its been a long cold day
And I'm standing on the street corner
Got a chill all the way down to my big black boots
Walked past the window where you used to play
And I catch the drifting scent
Of bourbon and blues
It never deters me
What crazy kind of faith brought me here
Not A god I'll never understand
No
He never called to me
Never called to me
Not in the same way you sang my name
Whispers and broken streetlights
Cobblestones under me
Your ghost above me
No God in sight
No not tonight
No no
And all carnies are off somewhere pulling up the posts
Circling the wagons
Hoping for an echo
Of the notes you would play them
When we needed those moments
Of truest freedom
Begging and believing
My fingers curl inside their gloves like muscle memory
Playin on that beer stained stage
Your serenade still beside me
Whispers and broken street lights
Cobblestones under me
Your ghost above me
No God in sight
No not tonight
No not tonight
And it's cold for the season
And there's a chill in the air
Feels like your breath is in my ear
And the streets of this city
Are different without you
Without you
Cobblestones under me
Your ghost above me
No God in sight
No not tonight
No not tonight
