Moonlit Overpass

[Verse 1]
I left my keys in the bowl
Left my coat on the chair
You were gone by the time
I got back upstairs
Your note said, baby, don't call
So I called anyway
Now the whole block knows
What I won't say
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your car by the curb
Then I heard it fade
My pride went cold in my hands
Like a blade
I keep your name on my tongue
Like a match in the rain
[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(I still burn)
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(come back home)
You got my heart
You got my heart
And I can't let go
[Verse 2]
There’s a ring in the sink
And a crack in the frame
Your red scarf on the hook
Still smells the same
I tried every road
Down to the river side
But your shadow kept walking
Right by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your car by the curb
Then I heard it fade
My pride went cold in my hands
Like a blade
I keep your name on my tongue
Like a match in the rain
[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(I still burn)
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(come back home)
You got my heart
You got my heart
And I can't let go
[Bridge]
Let the truth roll in
Let it shake these walls
I was hard on my love
And you took the fall
If you call my name
I’ll be there fast
On that moonlit overpass
Where the good things passed
[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(I still burn)
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
(come back home)
You got my heart
You got my heart
And I can't let go

Blues rock with a slow-swing backbeat and gritty walking bass; verse rides sparse guitar, warm organ, and a hard snare on two and four; pre-chorus opens with rising cymbal wash and vocal stacks; chorus hits with soaring lead-guitar answers, gang shouts on the hook, and a bluesy stop-time tag. Close-mic raspy male vocal, doubled on key lines, with delay throws on the last word of each chorus. Vinyl hiss, pickup-scrape fills, and a crash swell into the solo. Wide, punchy, smoky mix with a live-room bite., blues, rock
