Sample excerpt
The barman knows my order and the pianist knows my key, they've watched me tell this story to an empty room before. I keep my coat on now, in case tonight's the night you walk back in and find me exactly where you left me.
So pour me one more and let the piano do the rest, I've said your name enough to wear it thin. I'm not asking you to stay, I'm not asking you to call, I'm just asking for the song to end before I do.
Workshop note — Inglés obligado. Elegancia y devastación en la misma frase: la torch song no se derrumba, se sienta derecha. Escenario concreto (barman, pianista, abrigo puesto), y un estribillo que pide poco para doler más. 64 BPM = cada verso es una copa.
