Every Road Leads Somewhere

[Intro] Driving 12-string acoustic guitar. Hammond organ swells beneath a slow, hypnotic groove. Blues lead guitar answers with sustained bends. [Verse 1] Another town beneath the evening Another room above the square Caught a face inside the window Silver laughter waiting there Thorns were woven through her dark hair Just the way I'd seen before Like she'd never left the garden Standing by the open door [Pre-Chorus] Some memories fade like summer rain Some keep finding you [Chorus] Every road leads somewhere That's what she said Some roads wander Some roads end Every road leads somewhere She smiled again "You're closer now... Than you've ever been." [Verse 2] I asked her if she'd crossed the river She just watched the candle sway She said, "Some gardens grow forever... Some are carried every day." Then she reached and brushed my shoulder Black rose petals touched the floor For a moment I could smell That garden once more [Instrumental] Extended blues-inspired guitar solo. Hammond organ and lead guitar trade soulful melodic phrases. Loose, spacious, hypnotic. [Bridge] "Do you remember why you left?" She asked without a trace I searched every corner of my mind Found only an empty place She said, "That's mercy." Then she turned Toward the rain [Final Chorus] Every road leads somewhere She whispered low Some roads carry strangers Some carry ghosts Every road leads somewhere One day you'll see "You're much closer... To home... Than you were yesterday" [Outro] Repeat "Every road leads somewhere..." over layered harmony vocals while Hammond organ sustains beneath the opening 12-string acoustic guitar. A lone raven lands nearby without calling. Fade naturally into warm tape hiss and spring reverb.
