![]() Oh Fortune (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
And my heart is a ghost
And he drinks and he smokes
And he keeps me awake
All through the night my heart shakes
So I live alone
Drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
I know there is hope but I can't look for it
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
Oh, out in the woods
Out in the field as the hard rains fall
Rust in the wheels of my ten speed
And I ride in the rain
The rain and the wind and it keeps my sane
My head is a god and i can't speak for it
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
That's the trouble with everything
Everything always does that
That's the thing about everything
Everything always does that
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

| number7 (Napanee, Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Feb 15, 2012 - 20:00 Managed to catch Dan a couple of times. Great fun. A great talent. This is not one of my favorite tunes but it is growing on me. I do hope his next album catches fire with many more to come. |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 19, 2011 - 14:00 Let's see - everything appears to be a half-beat behind, the first batch of singing sounds like it's coming from the back of a cave, and the lyrics, other than at the end, can't be made out. A bit of a dog's breakfast, all in all. 2 from the Nottingham jury. |

| mrgus | Posted: Dec 14, 2011 - 07:21 Leaves in the trees and the trees ...where? Couldn't he repeat it a few dozen more times? |
| marc1980 (Victoria, BC) | Posted: Dec 09, 2011 - 13:38 Not my favourite of his but give the earlier Nice, Nice, Very Nice album a listen and you will become a fan. |
