about

Sez, Al and I knew this track inside out by the time we recorded it. It is recorded live with a bit of guitar tracked later.

lyrics

Yellow Leaves

when the yellow leaves start falling
and trees become
dead wood that lines the park
I started to wonder whether
us being together
as never more than a spark

while waiting on the shape to form
I have been worn down to the ground
eroded now, if I wanted to
I couldn’t hold on to you

if I’d asked you earlier
before the stars had turned
further than their mark
would you have turned from me
and returned us to the start

I’d hazard a guess that your blood
never flowed freely
from your heart
the piece of you gave to me
was surely the smallest possible
part

the best time to leave is just before the first rays of the sun
lest you be pierced in place and sold the myth ‘that it all can be done’

Oh and the trains still come, and the busses go on and/ on
Oh the flags still fly high

Oh and the night still comes, and the streetlights still turn/ on
Oh and the plains still fly high
