Burning Leaves

A song about Autumn - candles,leaves and that bright sunlight you only get at this time of year.

I recently delved inside this cheap accoustic guitar to find a pick-up that had fallen inside.The bridge had already broken and I'd been using a piece of wood up until now,so I tried using the pick up as a bridge,and got quite a clear,rich sound - making it alot easier to record.I love it when DIY actually works!

Thank you - RG

Burning Of The Leaves

Here Inside the huts of the hoaxers
You're hoarding wealth of a different kind
Diggin' doubts in the dreams of the dreamers
Diggin' dirt where theres nothing to find
Beggars bold turuned drunkards old
Sneaking around on the underground
I love my dog she's all I got
I've got off from the roundabout

And the leaves are burning gold
And the wax is turning cold

I lived in the desert for a 100 years
I can't communicate my big ideas
My legs are like twigs and my eyes are green
Green with all the big things I have seen
You wrap my name around a twisted stick
The river runs over me fast and thick
Got a persian bag all filled with jewels
I sell them on a sunday in the vestibules

And the leaves are burning gold (Catch em while they're falling)
And the wax is turning cold (A riddle in the flame)

My home-grown four leaved clover redeemers
Are pinned to the shirts of the true believers
They smile and reach out for the sun
I just pull a string and the moon pops up
Built a house of cards just ready to fall
When the pendulum swings that crystal ball
Gonna knock em down n set em up
Pour a little wine in a paper cup..

And the leaves are burning gold
And the wax is turning cold
