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

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
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

Коли весна авітамінозом - Радій фіалкам та мімозам. Коли літо тай засяє сонцем - Радій, радій, радій сонцю. Ой буде люди мені смішно, як знайде мене зілля грішне. Ой буде люди мені смішно, як знайде мене зілля... Коли
Мечта Хрустальная
Что-то грустно на сердце, как его понять? Помню, как в далеком детстве мне шептала мать, Что мужчины не плачут. Что ищу я на свете - не пойму никак. Мир, где
Черный Маг
Он с детства был слаб, он познал унижения. Изгой в этом мире искал силы суть, И в книгах волшебных, найдя утешение, Ступил на извилистый магии путь. Он не просил, не просил помочь - Он видел
Нами Прожитые Дни
Что в наших душах оставляют нами прожитые дни? Кто-то тушит и тушит в нашей жизни огни Я словно темная душа, озаряемая светом Где-то далеко в твоем сознании даже нету Мысли способной привести тебя к

Спокойной ночи, Господа, спокойной ночи Ваш день прошел , а ночь колдует и пророчит Ночные сказки , отголоски дней минувших Спокойной ночи, добрых снов для всех уснувших Спокойной ночи, Господа, гасите свечи Окно раскройте, за
