[Verse] Cold wind whispers down the alley Neon light's glowin' kinda sappy Lost my love on a rainy night Now I'm wanderin' in the pale moonlight [Verse 2] Streetcars rumble on ancient tracks Endless nights keep pullin' me back Heartfelt cries in the midnight smoke Broken dreams are a bitter joke [Chorus] A memory stayed of her sweet smile Lasted longer than a country mile Yet shadows grow long on city's end I'm left alone without a friend [Verse 3] Cobblestones echo my weary steps Lonely rivers in my heart’s depths Skies above painted with gray Love faded and slipped away [Bridge] Whispers around from an old bluesman Tales of sorrow with a gentle hand He sang my pain with that rusty string In every word his heart would swing [Chorus] A memory stayed of her sweet smile Lasted longer than a country mile Yet shadows grow long on city's end I'm left alone without a friend
