Lyric discussion by Lord Hasenpfeffer 

Cover art for Midnight Blue lyrics by Melissa Manchester

To me this song doesn't necessarily imply divorce but rather a formerly good relationship which has ended but perhaps not permanently. I visualize her alone, late at night, feeling some regret (i.e. midnight blues) yet hopeful for some form of mutual reconciliation if not full-blown restoration - if only a different, better and probably slower approach could be taken compared to the way it occurred before.

There is also a hint of selfish motivation in her words which would trouble me if they were said to me under such circumstances, unless I knew both parties were consciously seeking to establish some "interdependence" for the sake of the relationship as opposed to some temporary affection just to get through a needy night.
