verse 1
Fm
Midnight, moonlight
Fm
The wind blows off Saint Clair
Fm
I'm stuck at a red light, waiting
Fm
At 6 Mile & Delaware
Fm
The sound of a distant Firebird
Fm
The echo of a rhyme - Smokey's words
Fm
And absence, sweet absence
Fm
Fills the freezing air
verse 2
Fm
I've been wayside for years now
Eb
But no one seems to care
Bb
Their eyes on the distant horizon
Db
I drove them out of here
Fm
I gave you the American dream
Eb
And the music for your movie scene
Bb
But you left me, bleeding
Db
So listen to my prayer
