If You Turn Back Now (Live at Carnegie Hall)

by Cameron Winter

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you turn back now, I might call out your name
If you turn back now, I might just turn away
If you turn back now, I might carry you home
If you got good news, I might hang up the phone

[Refrain 1]
If you turn back now, I might just watch you go
I might love you again if you leave me alone

[Verse 2]
The devil is working even in the rain when it's pouring
The devil's work begins early every morning
Yeah, the devil is real, and he's living in heaven
The devil's gonna love you to death if you let him

[Refrain 2]
The devil will argue, he will beg you to stay
But I bеlong to him who gave me away

[Verse 3]
The bеaches will boil, and the baskets will burn
The moon will come down on your tail as it turns
The sun will stare down on the street where I buy
That beautiful, beautiful, beautiful milk that is sold the day after you die
[Refrain 3]
And the seesaws will swing on a cold Saturday
And I will love you, who has so little to say

[Verse 4]
You're trying to hear what they're whispering, but you don't
There's a whispering that dies down wherever you go
You're trying to know who you should want, but you can't
You passed right on by that lover with the lips in his hands

[Refrain 4]
And you're trying to win back my heart, but you won't
You're trying to win back my heart, but you won't
My heart is for those who leave me alone

About "If You Turn Back Now (Live at Carnegie Hall)"

Cameron Winter's live take at Carnegie Hall is a cavern of hush and echo, his voice a flickering candle in a grand, dark room. The song becomes a warning whispered across velvet seats: turn back now, and the silence swallows you. Unease pools beneath the ornate ceiling, calm surface over deep, cold water.
