LYRICS
PLAYING (NO RULES)

The light is playing on the wall
I watch the patterns come and go
and this moment won't come again

Notes are falling from my fingers
as I play the day away
playing a game that has no rules

The trees are bare now
there's nothing left
the trees are bare now there's nothing left
but I still see you in my head

and you're running down the road
running faster down the road
to me.....

1st verse repeated

I wrote this song the day after finishing the "Belinda" Cigar Box Guitar I'm playing.
I'm using a new amp that I bought with my busking proceeds. It's the Roland AC33. It's great for a crisp clear acoustic sound, but works well with a distortion pedal for a dirty sound too.
It's 30 watt but you can also use it with batteries, which I think then makes it go down to 20watt. It has a simple looper built in too : -)
It doesn't sound as good on the video as it does when you there!!
