Midnight Blues
The Midnight Blues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night
It's a million miles
from the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
When the shadows fall,
I feel the night closing in
There must be some reason
for this mood I'm getting in
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away
Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away
It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night
It's a million miles
to the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues




I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues

Line by Line Meaning

It's the darkest hour
It's the time of night when darkness is at its peak


of the darkest night
It's the time when the night is at its darkest


It's a million miles
It feels like a great distance from where one is to where one needs to be


from the morning light
It's a long time until it's morning again and light returns


Can't get no sleep
Unable to sleep


Don't know what to do
Lacking direction or purpose

Feeling sad or depressed during the late hours of the night


When the shadows fall,
As darkness descends and shadows become more prominent


I feel the night closing in
Sensing a feeling of confinement or isolation as darkness envelops one's surroundings


There must be some reason
There must be an explanation or cause for this feeling

For the emotional state that I'm experiencing


Every evening after sundown,
At the same time of day each day


as the light begins to fade
As daylight starts to diminish and darkness begins to take over


I feel so low, but I just don't know
Feeling down emotionally, but not understanding the reason for it


why these blues won't go away
Wondering why the feeling of sadness or depression persists


It's a million miles

to the morning light
It's a long time until it's morning again and light returns
