Stormy Night
blues Fingerpicked acoustic guitar opens slowly, minor chords ringing. Upright bass plucks deep, soft brush snare whispers on 2 & 4. Distant slide guitar echoes, sparse piano notes fill gaps. 65 BPM. Intimate, raw, makes room for a crying vocal.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Rain pounds hard on the tin roof,
I sit inside, I face the truth.
Lightning cracks and the wind does wail,
I hug my heart, I feel the hail.
Every drop reminds me of pain.
Chorus
Stormy night, I can’t escape,
I loved you deep, I feel the ache.
Stormy night, the thunder rolls,
I carry you deep in my soul.
Verse 2
Wind shakes the trees, the sky is black,
I walk alone, no turning back.
I hear your voice in the distant rain,
I try to smile, I feel the strain.
The storm rages, I stay strong.
Chorus
Stormy night, I can’t escape,
I loved you deep, I feel the ache.
Stormy night, the thunder rolls,
I carry you deep in my soul.
Verse 3
Morning breaks, the clouds are gray,
The storm moves on, but I will stay.
I hug the rain, I hug the pain,
I walk ahead, I’ll rise again.
Stormy night, fade away.
Chorus / Outro
Stormy night, I can’t escape,
I loved you deep, I feel the ache.
Stormy night… fade tonight.
