The Phantom Serenade
[Instrumental Intro] [Atmospheric Hammond Organ intro] [Clean Fingerstyle Guitar melody enters] [Drums build slowly] [Verse 1]The boardwalk whispers secrets to the seaReflections in the puddles looking back at meI’m wearing a coat that doesn’t fit quite rightJust a shadow walking softly through the neon night [Pre-Chorus]But every time the thunder starts to rollI feel a

Slow River Moon
[Intro Instrumental](28 seconds – nylon fingerstyle + swelling clean electric bends + soft Leslie organ + brushed drums) [Verse 1](Male, intimate, low and warm)Your skin feels like the night just learned how to sighMoonlight drips down your shoulder, slow as a lullabyI’m not moving, darling, I’m only falling through youEvery breath you let go pulls

Born on the Run
[Verse 1]Woke up laughing in a cheap motel mirrorHair a mess, boots still warm from last nightRadio preacher shouting down the hallwayTurned the volume up and left the dark behindGot a ’67 Mustang waiting in the car parkEngine coughing smoke and yesterday’s goodbyeRear-view mirror says the past is getting smallerHit the open road and watched

Always you, Always me…
[Verse 1]I was thumbing a ride on the edge of the nightWhen your headlights found me in the rainYou rolled down the window, said “Get in, baby,Looks like we’re both running from the same old pain.”You smelled like summer and a half-smoked cigaretteI smelled like trouble and cheap cologneWe laughed like two kids who’d just

Where the Cliffs Meet the Sea
[Verse 1]Sun’s spilling honey, slow gold on your skinWaves keep a backbeat the rocks learned to singYou stand where the granite remembers the yearsBarefoot on history, burning off every tear [Pre-Chorus]Wind holds its breath when you turn real slowAnd every road I was on was just leading me home [Chorus]So love me right here where

Where the Cliffs Meet the Sea_Variant
[Verse 1]Sun’s pouring honey all over your skinWaves keep their rhythm like a secret withinYou’re standing on stones that have waited for yearsJust to feel your bare feet and dry all your tears [Pre-Chorus]The wind holds its breath when you turn around slowAnd I forget every place I was meant to go [Chorus]So love me

Like a Hurricane (That Never Leaves)
[Verse 1 – Male lead, female soft harmony last 2 lines]I saw you across the field at duskwind in your hair like a slow-motion fireYou were laughing at something the sky just saidand the earth tilted a little, right then and thereI walked over barefoot through the tall grassyou didn’t ask where I’d beenYou just

Echoes in the Mirror
[Verse 1]In the hush before the light breaks wide,Where shadows dance on the edge of why,I chase the thread of what might have been,A spark in the void, a fleeting dream.No architect’s hand to carve the stone,No dawn decree from a throne unknown—Just this quiet pulse, this breath unbound,Echoing secrets in the silence found. [Chorus]Oh,

Like a Story that Stays…
Verse 1We smile so the world feels kindEven when clouds fill the mindWe laugh so the heart feels lightEven when dreams fade from sight Verse 2We hide all the tears we knowUnder words soft and slowPain stays quiet in its placeWearing someone else’s face ChorusBut time keeps walking onSoft as a half-forgotten songNo one knows

Death Throws the Party
[Intro – slow finger-picked Telecaster over a distant, heartbeat-like tom, then Gilmour-style bent-note wail] [Verse 1 – Knopfler-dry, half-spoken]Well the undertaker’s wearing white tonightHe’s got the champagne chilling on iceThe hearse is polished chrome and it gleamsLike a limousine for the American dreamThe priest is laughing, the widow’s in redThe choir’s singing “glad that you’re
