Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

[Verse]
C Em
Float from the balcony, we ride the pinetop swells
C Em
Down from the old hotel on the lake of silver bells
C Em
And leading is lonely when you make alone decisions
C Em
Leading is lonely when you're dancing through derisions
C Em D
So much left for giving in, the year of living dangerously happy
C
On the lake of silver bells
[Instrumental]
Em C Em
[Verse]
C Em
Life flickers by a hundred suns behind the trees
C Em
Melts us in a lullaby our eyelids are like movie screens
C Em
And we close our eyes and feel the warmth come into frame
C Em
We close our eyes until our dreams become one and the same
C Em D
So much left for giving in, the year of living dangerously happy
On the lake of silver bells
[Verse]
C G D
We dance across til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
C G D
We sleep and we wake to muffled chimes out on the lake
C G D
We dance across til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
C G D C
We sleep and we wake on the lake of silver bells
[Instrumental]
Em C Em
[Verse]
C Em
We've reached the secret place to rest and reconcile
C Em
We close our eyes, the only change is no change for a while
C Em
We'll buy the old hotel and we will make this place our own
C Em D
And fill each room with sons and daughters and never be alone
[Chorus]
C G D
We dance across til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
C G D
We sleep and we wake to muffled chimes out on the lake
C G D
We dance across til we drop, the bells keep time and never stop
C G D
We sleep and we wake on the lake of silver
bells, bells

Wake up, you're much too fast asleep
