As I Sing (Autumn Busk) on 3 string cigar box guitar
A song from yesterday’s busk in my favourite spot on the bridge in St Ives.
It seemed the perfect time and place for this song. I wish a few more birds had flown over on cue though…
I wrote it about five years ago. I jotted down some of the things I saw as I sung one Autumn day and wrote it when I got home.
LYRICS
As I sing the leaves are falling down,
birds fly up high.
A breeze blows all around me,
dark clouds forming in the sky.
As I sing a boy spins round in circles,
a dog waits patiently.
I feel the first chill of Autumn,
but this is where I want to be.
As I sing I hear a couple argue,
a man puts out his cigarette.
The song I really want to sing
is one I haven’t written yet.
As I sing the leaves are falling down,
birds fly up high.
A breeze blows all around me,
dark clouds forming in the sky.

Good to see and hear this one here. I saw and enjoyed it on Facebook. Wonderful setting for this song and lyrics. Powerful, sad and good. Your vocals are so strong here. Your voice is aging like fine wine - getting richer.
Still sounds great 5 years on. Love the composition of the video ! You could take a still and sell it as a postcard :-)
