about

This one's for Carol Anne.

lyrics

1. In fall oak leaves turn color
Red at the lip, at the edge
Lipstick red, outside in
Fireworks at the end

The trees were turning color
when Grandad passed away
she played the way he taught her
just to get through the day

Ch. And the leaves were wearing her lipstick
as summer turned to fall
The leaves were wearing her lipstick
as summer turned to fall

2. Grandad placed her fingers
showed her how to fret the strings
He taught her to pick and strum
He helped her learn to sing

He taught her to play labor songs
he taught her to play jazz
he taught her all the basics
and then some razzmatazz

Chorus

Br. His guitar became a part of her
she kept it with her all day long
She played the way he taught her
and spent her grief in song

Chorus
