Midnight Blue — текст песни (Seals and Crofts)

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1978)
From the album TAKIN` IT EASY (1978).

Ain`t no sorrow for that woman. Ain`t no pity for this fool.
She wrote her name upon my window, signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."

There`s a story goin` `round here, `bout a woman dressed in black.
Spendin` money and drinkin` whiskey, drivin` `round in my big black Cadillac.
There`s a shanty down by the river. They say she went there to meet a friend.
They found his body beneath the willows. She signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."

There`s a jailhouse down in this county, with its windows oh so high.
They`re gonna hang me come Monday morning, write my soul, Midnight Blue, across the sky.
Now if I ever get to heaven, I`ll look St. Peter in the eye.
And say don`t you ever let that woman ever appear.
She`s Satan`s daughter, in shades of midnight blue.
