Thread Name: Lyr/Tune/Chords Req: Keep THOSE Home Fires Burning
Subject: RE: Keep Those Homefires Burning (Not WWII song)
Malcolm, that is exactly the CD I was referring to. I've been away for a bit, but,the first verse and chorus.....

Soon the rain outside my window will turn to snow
As Autumn winds chase down Aspen trees
and turn their leaves to gold
I can hear the geese come calling, across the open sky
So wild and free, as they take flight

Chorus:
So keep those home fires burning
Through the dark of the night
Soon I'll be returnin'
Be there one more time
Before the mornin' light

Anyway, I really dig on this song, it has a very calming effect on me. BTW, this whole CD is really very good.

Also, I read some of the liner notes, apparently, Lefthand String Band was a precursor to Leftover Salmon. Drew Emmitt wrote and sang.

Thanks.
