A song about Addiction, Recovery and Hope

lyrics

Three Midnights (Linda McRae/James Whitmire)

I bought a house with no windows
it’s crumbling and showing scars
built on a street called Misery
where everything I touched fell apart
a house not fit for man nor beast
where no one ever really wants to stay
couched with shame, so unforgiving
a place you own but never give away

I bought a house by lying and stealing
black as the poison in my veins
I spent all my pride and got back no change
soaked to the bone with years of pain
I thought my house was so unique
and that I held the only key
but that key so many times been sold
unlocks the door to purgatory

CH Oh Lord give me back my sanity, my home my family,
Lord give me light

And now my house is vacant
within it walls lies my past grief
so if you walk by and it catches your eye
keep on walkin’ it don’t come cheap
for it’s a house made of fire and brimstone
and the souls that have gone before
nightmares in the basement, sorrow in the attic
and it’s darker than 3 midnights in a jar

CH Oh Lord give me back my sanity, my home my family,
Lord give me light
Oh Lord, I fell down on my knees, I asked and I received
Now I see the light
