Sam Moss - Neon lyrics
[Sam Moss - Neon lyrics]
I was walkin' after midnight
Three AM to be exact crossin’ city limit's
A heavy coat upon my back
Countin' strangers as I passed them
All were hurried, eyes ahead
Oh there's no trustin’ after midnight
When we're just lookin' for our bed
But I stared out from the overpass
On the downtown haze
Hailed a cab and headed toward it
In a bleary daze
Oh the driver was slippin' out
Could hardly keep awake
I prodded him with bony finger
And we rode swerving to someplace
Ridin' oh, ridin'
Ridin'
I pointed to the densest neon
Made a motion to depart
When I stepped out the streets were empty
I let the color fill my heart
And with it full I asked forgiveness
With it full I asked for strength
I asked it of the swirling neon
And let my wish list turn to blank
It was enough to pose the question
I expected no reply
But spun around, found my way home
And hit the sheets by morning time
Ridin' oh, ridin’
Ridin’ ridin'
Oh, ridin’ ridin'
Three AM to be exact crossin’ city limit's
A heavy coat upon my back
Countin' strangers as I passed them
All were hurried, eyes ahead
Oh there's no trustin’ after midnight
When we're just lookin' for our bed
But I stared out from the overpass
On the downtown haze
Hailed a cab and headed toward it
In a bleary daze
Oh the driver was slippin' out
Could hardly keep awake
I prodded him with bony finger
And we rode swerving to someplace
Ridin' oh, ridin'
Ridin'
I pointed to the densest neon
Made a motion to depart
When I stepped out the streets were empty
I let the color fill my heart
And with it full I asked forgiveness
With it full I asked for strength
I asked it of the swirling neon
And let my wish list turn to blank
It was enough to pose the question
I expected no reply
But spun around, found my way home
And hit the sheets by morning time
Ridin' oh, ridin’
Ridin’ ridin'
Oh, ridin’ ridin'
