All songs / David Alan Graham
A stranger from a colder place who showed up right on time.
You said you don't get this kind of air back home
Where the night stays warm and the streets feel slow
I said "yeah, it's a little different here"
Like I've been explainin' it for years
You laughed like you already knew
How a place can change the way you move
Like you weren't just passin' through
Like maybe somethin' was pullin' you
And I don't know what you're here to find
But it sure looks good in this moment of time
From Rhode Island into my night
You showed up right on time in my life
No map, no plan, just a change in the wind
Now I'm wonderin' where this could've been
You're just a few days, a different name
But it don't feel temporary the same
Funny how strangers start feelin' like signs
From Rhode Island into my night
You told me stories of colder streets
While you watched the Gulf meet your feet
Like you were tryin' to memorize
A place you might leave behind
And I didn't try to slow it down
Just let the hours circle around
'Cause some things don't ask to be more
They just show up and stay at your door
Yeah it's easy when you don't pretend
That every hello has to have an end
From Rhode Island into my night
You showed up right on time in my life
No map, no plan, just a change in the wind
Now I'm wonderin' where this could've been
You're just a few days, a different name
But it don't feel temporary the same
Funny how strangers start feelin' like signs
From Rhode Island into my night
Maybe you leave when the week is gone
Maybe this only lives in a song
But I won't forget how it felt so right
When Rhode Island met my night
From Rhode Island into my night
You turned a few days into somethin' alive
No promises made, no need to pretend
Just a chapter I don't want to end
You'll go your way, I'll stay mine
But you won't leave my mind behind
Funny how strangers start feelin' like signs
From Rhode Island into my night

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
