Counting the leaves there are left on this planet
Counting the leaves there are left
Open the door, cool wind blows in
Beams of light streak ‘cross the floor
Whistling wind through the trees
Crackling leaves still yet to fall
My mind drifts off to a distance, many miles away
My mind drifts off to a distance, many miles away
This tree we planted is so tall now
it hangs over the house
and filters the sun
And I feel life’s just begun
as I’m raking it’s leaves
off of the ground
My mind drifts off to a distance, many miles away
My mind drifts off to a distance, many miles away

4 wheels driving speed and texas tea
4 lane speedway up and down my street
Hog the road with a heavy load
Glug glug
Something’s moving down below my feet
Something crude is bubbling back at me
Steeping time sportingly refined
Glug glug
Steeping time sportingly refined
Glug glug

Drills

Struck down by the river of water coming in
In one fleeting moment the whole world is sinking
The world how it’s shrinking
Meanwhile, on the island so far lost in time
No mall or no fountain, they ran up the mountain
The old people told them
Walk down by the river of concrete laid across
Making our power, they’re growing our flowers
For hours and hours
Picture a desert postcard made of sand
There’s wealth where the plants grow
That’s where the drills go
That’s where the drills go

There are bright corners
Where light shines on us
Where I have everything I need
Now something’s coming
A bun in the oven
Bulbs burning bright enough for three
We thought we knew most of the time
There are bright corners
Where light shines on us
Where we have everything we need
We thought we knew most of the time

Who knew that this would go on for so long
More time to get these things wrong
Weeks into months,
and years how they tried
And oh how they lied
so many times
too many times
Those who don’t know went on battle on
Blind eyes and desensitised
Indeed we move on
for those left behind
We know we’ll find
in the back of our minds
We knew our time would come
before too long
We knew our time would come
before too long
We knew our time would come
before too long
We knew our time would come

Omorno Chicago, Illinois
With influences ranging from 80s pop to Bossa Nova, Omorno creates a multi-layered shimmering soundscape. The song structure is simple, allowing more room for the acoustic, electric and percussion instruments and vocals to roam and blend. Originally the solo studio work of Chicago band Bric-a-Brac member Mike Armstrong, the group has now expanded into a live 5-piece band with 3 other BaBers. ... more
