about

Leaves was an early demo, that got some airplay on 4ZZZ.
When the Avenger came around to the opportunity to record a long player it was an obvious inclusion.

lyrics

The egg-cracked sun it rises through the trees
I’m here to greet the dawn
I curl up sleeping on the notes you send to me
And when I wake you’re gone

But you’ve gone so far away I can’t believe
You say you left him there
But you know you also left me

Two sleepy people under the Autumn leaves
Dreaming there beneath the trees
I’d like to say I missed you now
so please just go away
But be sure to take me with you when you leave

While I travel on the road this siren night
Announce her death there on page three
The naked smiles of friends who come and go away
Well I don’t really need them...
I just need you here with me

The day you went away I told myself you lied
You know you said you never cared...
You never will I know
What was wrong that you had to leave?
You’ve gone... you’ve gone away
I took a chance on love and I found it doesn’t pay

So tell me now just what should I believe?
Well please if you ever change your mind about me Now I’ll tell you
Come back I’m waiting for you
