In the Blue of the Night

When the night is blue and the storms have gone
May the love shine its light on you
Life is never long or as sweet and strong
As forever to justify how true
How I feel right now about you

I could feel the heat of the summer in my veins
Roarin' down the tracks of the nighttime trains
Comin' down the tracks up the depots and plains
Emergency lights casting shadows in the swamp

In the blue blue blue of the night
In the blue blue blue of the night
Of the night
Of the night

When the night is calm and the light still on
In the window of house, I see you
Although I will be gone
Chains will rattle on
Down the corridors of the things we didn't do
Back up against the wall where I first met you

I could feel the heat of the summer in my veins
Roarin' down the tracks of the nighttime trains
Comin' down the tracks of the depots and plains
Emergency lights casting shadows into the swamp

In the blue blue blue of the night
In the blue blue blue of the night
In the night
In the night
