Stormy Night
Jazz organ chords roll slowly like church in the dark, upright bass steady at 69 BPM. Ride cymbal barely touching. Slide guitar weaves mournfully. The singer sounds exhausted and smoky at first, then suddenly roars with a wild, unfiltered cry that overwhelms the band.

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.
