Blue Wire Fever

[Verse 1]
Your boots by the door
Still got dust on the heel
That old red coat
Still hangs like a seal
You said “I’m gone”
But you left your smell
In the chair by the window
And the hole in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching out
For a hand that’s not there
Got a pocket full of thunder
And a house full of air
[Chorus]
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
I’m burning down slow
With this wire in my heart
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
If you hear me tonight
Don’t leave me in the dark
[Verse 2]
Moonlight on the sink
Cold water, hard taste
Your ring in the soap dish
Like a promise in a cage
I tried moving on
With a road and a tune
But every old mile
Ends back in your room
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching out
For a hand that’s not there
Got a pocket full of thunder
And a house full of air
[Chorus]
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
I’m burning down slow
With this wire in my heart
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
If you hear me tonight
Don’t leave me in the dark
[Bridge]
Take my pride
Take my last dime
Take the cold off this bed
Take your name off my mind
One more chance
One more sign
I’ll stand in the rain
If you stand by my side
[Chorus]
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
I’m burning down slow
With this wire in my heart
Come back, baby, come back
(come back, baby, come back)
If you hear me tonight
Don’t leave me in the dark

Blues rock with a slow-to-mid 12/8 swing, smoky backbeat, bent-guitar answers, and a verse that leaves space for the vocal to ache; pre-chorus tightens with bass and tom lift, chorus opens with gang shouts and a gritty guitar hook. Vocal is raspy and close-mic in verses, double-tracked on the hook, with short delay throws on held lines. Slide fills, turnaround licks, and a tape-worn intro buzz set the mood; mix is warm, punchy, and wide, blues
