Prompt:

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the motel chair Dust in the pocket, a silver pair I took the road where the crows flew low Past the dry well and the radio [Pre-Chorus] Your name was folded inside my hand A little map to a vanished land [Chorus] Tokyo night, red paper sky Fast little hearts and a long goodbye I hear your boots where the engines run But every road ends beneath the sun Tokyo night, don’t turn around I lost your voice in the speaker sound [Verse 2] The diner clock had a broken face Coffee went cold in an empty place A stranger asked if I’d seen your train I said, “No, sir,” and watched the rain [Pre-Chorus] The desert keeps what the living lose It takes one truth and returns bad news [Chorus] Tokyo night, red paper sky Fast little hearts and a long goodbye I hear your boots where the engines run But every road ends beneath the sun Tokyo night, don’t turn around I lost your voice in the speaker sound [Bridge] If you come back, come back alone Leave all the roses beside the stone I won’t be waiting, I won’t pretend Some stories burn before they end [Final Chorus] Tokyo night, red paper sky Fast little hearts and a long goodbye The wheels keep turning, the miles unwind Your shadow fades at the county line Tokyo night, don’t turn around I’m only dust when the beat cuts out [Outro] Only dust when the beat cuts out Only dust when the beat cuts out
