lyrics

4000 LEAVES

i scaled this dusty road
2 years have come to blows
we're kinda moving slow
4000 leaves, they're falling
from every tree
they flutter wild and free
collected, piled in me
they smell of her, i break

4000 leaves of honor
4000 leaves of gain
4000 leaves to want her
4000 leaves of pain
4000 leaves of anguish
4000 leaves of pride
4000 leaves to tarnish
4000 leaves to hide
away...

i've turned the pages back
to twist in ages black
can't take it back
i waste 4000 leaves
to make up for all the pain
no sense in thinking of
the ways to rise above
just circumvent that love

4000 leaves of wonder
4000 leaves of rage
4000 leaves of summer
4000 leaves to gauge
4000 leaves to reckon
4000 leaves i spied
4000 leaves to beckon
4000 leaves to hide
away...

i've spent my time here thinking
about my time spent drinking
i throw another shot
and it's only just a game
that i've never played
these ropes i wear, my service
they press against my chest
they hold me here for certain

4000 leaves to anger
4000 leaves confound
4000 leaves i've named her
4000 leaves the ground
4000 leaves of nothing
4000 leaves insane
4000 leaves of something
4000 leaves of strain
4000 leaves to blow me
4000 leaves they fly
4000 leaves below me
4000 leaves they die
4000 leaves to fix it
4000 leaves to shy
4000 leaves to nix it
4000 leaves to fly
away...

about

Chris Anderson image

Chris Anderson Alexandria, Virginia

I made my first album in 1992 and I just can't quit. This site collects what came before my recording style changed in 2008. These are the records that shaped and guided me to the music I make now. Often flawed, always right. Newly remastered, with tons of bonus tracks, this catalog is my life story. A musical memoir in real time, ragged and as rough as I.
