Almost Home
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing 5 below
It was freezing rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said, "Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
He said "I was just comin' round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler, "Son hurry up"
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
I said,"Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission"
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree

Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
Cause I was almost home (almost home)
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home

Скрипач Моня
1. Скрипач, аидишэ Моня, когда-то бог симфоний, Играет каждый вечер в ростовском кабаке. Костюмчик - так, не очень, но чистый, между прочим, И кое-что в потертом кошельке. 2. Скрипач, аидишэ Моня, скрипач всегда в
Не Згасне Полум’я Слави
Як криця грозного меча, горів на заході вогонь, Міцна українська рука стискала у долонях зброю. Великої матері сини, вони не сплямили свій рід, Свою не пожаліли кров за кров її, за плоть її. Не
Блюз
Играй и пой свой рок-н-ролл Я буду ждать тебя Когда решишь уйти на дно Я буду ждать тебя. Здесь так тепло и никого Стучатся голуби в окно Всё так понятно и легко Короче, жду в метро. Припев: Посмотри, солнце
Хочу До Тебе
Я не зруйную відстані стіни І ти не станеш іншим всерівно Чому моє серце забрав ти далеко? Без тебе на світі жити не легко Приз за розлуку і вирване серце Щастя невчасне і надто відверте Буде
