about

Graham recorded 'Smoke & Burning Things' late one night when, as usual, he could not sleep. Each song on the album was recorded on one track with no editing, save a touch or reverb, and four of the five songs were recorded in one take. In contrast to the first collection of songs, 'Low Light', Graham decided to keep this collection simple and sparse to accentuate the lyrics and the melody of these songs.

Track Name: Blush
underacheivers acheiving greatness
do they know that they can save us

very beautiful girls found in all sorts of places
sitting in the sun with tthe wind blowing in their hair
across beautiful faces

I stumble with my feet
and I stumble with my tongue
I fall right on my face
make myself look dumb
my cheeks are turning red
on my face you see me blush
now she's gone
with wanderlust

the way the moon stares at the darkside of the earth
it's the you stare at me
it feels so good but it hurts
Track Name: Paper
bits of paper falling down
falling down into the gutter
maybe it would be better
if they were lost forever

bits of paper being found
being found laying in the gutter
maybe it would be better
if they were found and treasured

but i never know what they're trying to say to me
but i can comprehend
that in this world with infinite possibilities
life fllows like ink straight from the hand

bits of paper being read
being read interpretations
maybe it would be better
if we could never understand

bits of paper being heard
being heard through spoken word
maybe it would be better
if we knew everything had a plan
Track Name: What I Think Of
i am a man
and i am the sun
i'm doing everything i can
shining on everyone

this is what i think of
you are what i think of
she is what i think of
this is all i think of

the suns coming up
so i am heading west
i could never tell you
i'll let you imagin the rest
Track Name: The Country
in the country
when you're driving
and the smoke blows in your windows
you can smell the maple burning
sweet scent lingers aroung you're knows

in the country
when you're driving
folloowing lines upon the road
and lightning lights up everything
that your mind already know

in the country
when the country's burning

god damn it's raining
and it's foggy
you can't see right down to your toes
but you can run in any direction
and no one will ever know
that in the sunrise and the sunset
you can see heaven coming through the sky
we can share all of these moments
in the country just you and i

in the country
when the country's burning

when the sun goes down
we can make sweet loving by the fireside
when the sun goes down
you can feel it all over taht everything will be alright

in the country
when the country's burning
Track Name: autumns breeze
you can't break a diamond
but you can break my heart
you can spend a lifetime searching for the stars
or you can feel my scars

I am autumns breeze between the hours of ten and noon
you are summers final breath
I will be there to see you leave I'll be everything that's left

if we are speaking of yesterday
you should know i'm trying to forget the past
I'm trying to kill these memories
the ones that seem to last

I am autumns breeze between the hours of ten and noon
you are summers final breath
I will be there to see you leave I'll be everything that's left
