V1
How many times have I been told not to leave
Guess I need to find a long bridge to burn
Wanna see glowing embers in my rear view mirror 
You’ve shoved me past the point of no return

Chorus
I think I could make a profession out of revenge
But folks say it’s best served as a cold plate
So I need a little distance, I need a little time
Your days coming but it may be a long wait

V2
I’m not going to worry if my past defines me
In a few minutes I can leave where I lived my whole life
No more you  no more them  only me and the horizon
Any direction will carry me away from the strife 

Chorus

Cold Plate

Hi Folks,
Here is a little ditty I wrote recently in the Jump Blues style made popular in the 1940's by artists such as Louis Jordan, Roy Brown, Amos Milburn, Lionel Hampton, T-Bone Walker, Wynonie Harris & Louis Prima.

IN THE EVENING

V1
some days ole sol can be too bright
that’s when I look forward to night 
I want to be awake to gaze at the moon
there’s no need for me to seek high noon 

Chorus 
I always come alive in the evening 
listening to the night birds singing
surrounded by the glow of fireflies 
I no longer think of blue skies

Turnaround (4 bars)

V2
when the full moon is shining bright 
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews

Chorus
Solo
Bridge
when I see the sun rise I’ll bid the night adieu
but my moonlit dreams will always come shining through

Chorus
Outro

In The Evening

Something new to something old
Something once so warm
That now has turned so bitter cold
You just can’t disguise
The love you’ve lost therein your eyes
But I’m not letting go

So twist the knife
Watch me bleed
Just say goodbye before you leave
From tonight
Until the break of every dawn
I’ll keep holding on

So pull the shade and walk away
Shed your tears and tell them all you're so okay
Try who you want you be
Erase me from your memory
But I won’t let you fade

So twist the knife
Watch me bleed
Just say goodbye before you leave
From tonight
Until the break of every dawn
I’ll keep holding on
