The observation of a man trying to come to terms with his wife`s death. Written by Paul Coates.

I wrote this song to give to a friend of mine who is a blues singer/guitarist because he was looking for some original material for touring, alas he never took the song so I recorded it myself! It`s a simple minor melody with a heartfelt storyline.

The Nighthawk Blues When the night has come, and the moon is shining through From midnight `til the dawn, I can`t sleep without you And it feels so long, since you`ve been gone… And lonely too! I walk along, these lonely streets we knew And every step I take, is a step away from you And my heart aches, when time it takes… Another piece of you. Chorus: In that grave where you lay There`s a heart I can`t stop thinkin`of And though I kneel and pray and I raise my hands above I can`t get no love…. get no love In that place where you stay There`s a heart I can`t stop thinking`of. I find my way, through the shadows on the hill To be with you baby, where the air is cold and still And though I try, to say goodbye Don`t think I ever will. I see your face, the memory I can`t lose But it turns away, with every turn I choose And bit by bit, I`m livin`with These Nighthawk Blues. Chorus: In that grave where you lay There`s a heart I can`t stop thinkin`of And though I kneel and pray and I raise my hands above I can`t get no love…. get no love In that place where you stay There`s a heart I can`t stop thinking`of. x
