Prompt / Lyrics
[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
