Miles High (Dark Glasses)

by John Kendall Hawkins


.

Well it's almost dark

I guess you'll be coming in

'Round Midnight playing its mystery

its urban blight, things gone to seed

the urbane white, drum roll in need

of the reedy silence that soothes

call it the closed eyes blues

c'mon, baby, lie down next to me

tell me the news, tell me the news

tell me the news
