This post is old "story" song that Rob helped me re-work with using SUNO.
Much thanks to Rob.
The song is the story of the destruction of a relationship by cocaine.

GONE BY DAWN
Lyrics by Martin Lide
Musical production by Rob Baitinger

V1
It was girl's night out.
They were laughing in a bar.
Drinkin' tequila from little glass jars
And doin' cocaine out by the cars.

V2
A man walked in about a quarter passed ten.
Lit that bar with blue eyes and a grin
She couldn't...
take her eyes off him

V3
He walked right up like he owned her dress.
Said of all these girls, you're the pretti-est.
I jus' wanna talk for a while...
I guess.

V4
Her friends looked over like she struck new oil.
Smiled at her like she met a royal.
She said...
for a while I guess.

V5
Then at closin' time in a shiverin' mist
She was sayin' good bye with quiverin' lips
He leaned in close.
And stole a warm wet kiss.

Interlude
She felt the mist come down.
Felt a warm strong body in a cold gray town.
She felt the chill leave the air.

She felt her passions grow
Felt her feelings swell like she'd never known.
She pulled still closer next to him.

V6
Her eyes opened up at the crack of dawn
Fell on a ceiling that looked all wrong.
She jumped outa bed and said...
What have I done?!

V7
She raced across town to another world.
To a man who loved her and a baby girl.
Screamin' at the windshield...
What have I done?!

V8
She flew in the kitchen
All flushed with fear.
He said "Don't bother lying.
Truth beat you here.
One of your good-time buddies laid it out real clear.

V9
She knew that man.
She knew that tone.
She knew that night...
She'd lost her home.

She crashed to the floor like a giant stone.


CHORUS
She fell down upon her knees, and she screamed out in pain.
I'm beggin' you please, let me explain.
It was nothin' to me, just the cocaine.
Swear on my life, I'll never do it again.

Tears were streamin' down her face. drowning her in shame.
That night would not erase, it would never be the same
Beggin him to stay, she said don't leave me this way.
It's all a bad dream, it'll fade away.


TURNAROUND
He said everything we had,
that we built our love on,
was gone, by dawn.

Every future kiss,
All the love w're gonna miss,
was gone, by dawn.

V10
Alone in an apartment, on a dreary day
She was starin' out the window, and across the way.
At nothing...there was nothin' to see.

V11
One thought filled her tortured mind.
If she could only get herself back in time
and undo...a cold and misty night.[size:17pt][/size][color:#FF6666][/color]
