North Moon Drive

[Verse 1]
I left the old road
With dust on my boots
You said, “Come on back”
But I needed the truth
The North wind called me
From the edge of town
I followed that pull
Till the sun went down
[Pre-Chorus]
And the moon kept watch
Like a silver eye
On every wrong turn
And every lie
I heard your name
In the iron trees
I kept on walking
Till you found me
[Chorus]
Moon over North
Pull me home
Moon over North
I’m not alone
(hold on)
Moon over North
Lead me right
Moon over North
In the cold night
[Verse 2]
Your porch light faded
Behind the hills
My coat got heavy
But my heart stood still
I had your photo
Folded in my hand
And a half-broken promise
I couldn’t stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the moon came low
Like a lantern ring
You can lose your road
But not everything
I raised my head
When the crows took flight
And I saw your shadow
At the edge of night
[Chorus]
Moon over North
Pull me home
Moon over North
I’m not alone
(hold on)
Moon over North
Lead me right
Moon over North
In the cold night
[Bridge]
If I was a wildfire
You were the rain
If I was the hunger
You broke the chain
Now I’m on your doorstep
With my sins in view
And the moon above
Still points to you
[Chorus]
Moon over North
Pull me home
Moon over North
I’m not alone
(hold on)
Moon over North
Lead me right
Moon over North
In the cold night
[Outro]
Moon over North
Moon over North
Take me back
Moon over North

Blues-rock with a slow-swinging backbeat, smoky guitar bends, and a driving feel that opens from sparse verse to a bigger chorus; verse rides bass, brushed drums, and gritty low guitar, pre-chorus adds rising fills and handclaps, chorus hits with wide stacked harmonies and a soaring lead line. Vocal is close-mic and husky with doubled chorus punches and short delay throws. Ear candy: reversed cymbal swell into the hook, slide guitar answer phrases, and a final lift with tom fills. Warm, wide, and stage-lit mix., blues
