Borrowed Hour (A.I Rockstar’72 Remix/September Remix Challenge)

[Intro: solo pipe organ ostinato, ticking, fingerstyle guitar joins] [Verse 1: trembling, close to the mic] Counting the cracks in the kitchen light your coffee's still warm, you're already gone I kept the porch lamp burning all night like a promise you could see from the road [Pre-Chorus: bass enters, rim clicks] Tick... tick... the house keeps time I don't [Chorus: explosive, guitars take the ostinato, tearful belt] Give me one more hour just one more hour I'll hold it with both hands this time I swear I won't waste it crying I'm crying I'm crying [Verse 2: half-time drums, organ low underneath] I rehearse the words I never said out loud to the dust on the dash every mile you drive is a year to me and I'm growing old in the doorway [Chorus] [Guitar Solo: crying bending lead over organ ostinato, accelerating climb] [Bridge: sudden stop, voice alone, breaking] If you come back and I'm not here it's not because I stopped waiting [Final Chorus: everything crashes in, highest belt, voice cracking] Give me one more hour just one more hour I'll hold it with both hands this time the clock doesn't care that I love you [Abrupt Stop] [Fade out]
