Paradise

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

Hey!

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

Late John Garfield Blues

Verse 1:Black faces pressed against the glass Where the wind leaned its weight Wind blows scars and top down cars All share one western trait Sadness leaks through tear stained cheeks From winos to dime

Стой, Возьми Меня С Собой (с Da Vinchi)

Можно ждать, можно звать, можно к счастью достучатся, Хоть не всё, что блестит - серебро. Почему же летать птицы в небе не боятся? Крылья бьют и они об стекло. Стой, возьми меня с собой. Просто

Останній Дракар

Перш ніж останній дракар зникнув як сон, А мгла накрила океанські води В вогняних хвилях перунів грім Розпочва битву з вируючим морем. Перш ніж дерева відспівали в лісах І пішла лань - зганьблена тінь Святовіта. Кров

Очи Черные

Очи черные, очи страстные, Очи жгучие и прекрасные! Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас, Знать увидел вас я в недобрый час. Не встречал бы вас, я бы знал покой, Я бы прожил жизнь

Дождь Над Касабланкой

Я помню эту ночь в безымянном баре, Плывущую луну в ночных небесах, Бокал вина в руках твоих, И сигарету на двоих, Отражение звезд в твоих глазах И было мне с тобой так легко и просто Говорить
