Shadows Crawl | Dark Blues

Step onto the Midnight Porch and into the heart of American blues.
“Shadows Crawl” is an original dark blues tale — where the moon hangs bruised, shadows creep, and every echo tells a story of struggle, hope, and lost dreams.

Listen for moody acoustic guitar, whiskey-soaked lyrics, southern porch vibes, and the haunting spirit of Delta blues. Perfect for fans of raw, heartfelt storytelling, country blues, and authentic Americana.

Lyrics:
[Verse]
The moon's a bruise on a battered sky
Staring down with its one good eye
The night is a thief
It steals my breath
Every step feels closer to death

[Chorus]
Shadows crawl where the light won't go
They know my name
They move so slow
I reach for hope
But it slips my hand
Broken dreams in a sinking land

[Verse 2]
The whiskey whispers
But it don’t lie
Tells me the truth I can’t deny
A chair that creaks
A clock that moans
This house ain't a home
Just walls and bones

[Prechorus]
I called for mercy
It never came
Just the echo of my own name

[Chorus]
Shadows crawl where the light won't go
They know my name
They move so slow
I reach for hope
But it slips my hand
Broken dreams in a sinking land

[Bridge]
The river bends
But it don't forgive
It drags me down
Makes me relive
Every sin
Every time I fell
This ain't a life
It's a private hell
