about

Recorded at Breakglass by Dave Smith

lyrics

there is no brutal fiction here
as we climb along the pier past every waking light
the dogs are sleeping tight and taut and oh, so sleepy
all the morning bells have died

you raise your arms and bless the sky
some damaged pardon for years gone by

laurel leaf, when you leave, please let me down gently
i will tremble for a century
laurel leaf, when you leave, don't speak of us often
some lives are best forgotten.

you gave a single moment's glance
to wave along the shyness that is floating by
myself, i lie awake and dream of autumn
come on, baby boy, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

laurel leaf, when you leave, please let me down gently
i will tremble for a century
and then fade into obscurity
trading shame for quiet dignity.
