Song information
A moving-on song.

Opening done in standard tuning. The rest of it is done in DADGAD tuning.

Drum loops provided by LogicProX.

When all is said and done, it's really just a shameless excuse to play WAH lead guitar!

Lol...

Enjoy, my friends!

Lyrics
ZEPHYR (JUST CAN'T STAY)

I
I've had enough of these people.
I've had my fill of this town.
I'll be leavin' come the mornin'.
I'll slip away without a sound.

Refrain:
Hope---it is the warm breeze,
that carries me away.
I feel the zephyr on my neck,
and you know I just can't stay!

II
Once I thought I'd seen a vision;
but if the truth be told:
I was blinded by the rainbow,
behind that pot of gold.

Refrain:
Ah, but Hope---it is the warm breeze,
that will carry me away.
I feel the zephyr on my neck now,
and you know I just can't stay!

Bridge:
Been a long time comin',
Don't know why it took so long.
Really thought that I could make it here,
---guess I was wrong.

III
I'll be leavin' come the mornin';
headin' down that open road.
Soon be floatin' on that west wind,
into the sweet unknown...

Refrain:
Hope---it is the warm breeze,
that carries me away.
I feel the zephyr on my neck now,
and you know, 
---you know I just can't stay!

I'm on my way!

Yeah!

I enjoyed every note played on your guitars.
Great vocal singing great words. I like the song form. Really unique and 70s. Cool

Feels like we’re right there in your studio as you”find” you song. There’s a surliness to this and your vox that I like. Good one Mike.

Really enjoyed this Mike. 
The opening had a Led Zeppelin feel to it.
The two different tunings is interesting, I only play in standard EADCBE tuning.

Thanks Gerald. I think I know of the Zep track you are referring to. I get the comparison, but I was actually inspired by something Leslie West (R.I.P.) played on an old MOUNTAIN track. They're both somewhat similar.
Anyway, re the tuning. You should fool around with DADGAD some. It's especially good for a bluesy feel. I've used it on at least four songs.
Glad you enjoyed this one bro!
BTW, I really like YOUR new avatar. Several new ones about. Must be something in the air! LOL...

I agree with Kenneth. A70s feel to what is otherwise a very creative piece of work.

Alternate tunings always rock.   That wah guitar along with the voice going up real high got my attention real good.  Sounded like some old Cream or Eric Burdon right there.   Killer, I say.
