Abandoned Love

I hope you know my bed has no smell of you
I hope you know the source of my discord is not you
Getting drunk, join the fight
And it's not you who's breaking into my dreams at night
And it's not because of you I despise
Sincerity and kindness and open heart
And you're not the reason I can't stand
All the flowers and a sun and a cloudless sky
This is not loneliness
It's not an abandoned love
It's a strange kind of feeling
That comes from above
So yes, I'm a villain, baby, I'm the worst
That ever happened to you so please darling don't come close
So count your blessings and throw all your curses down on me
'Cause I don't want to spend another day in purgatory
And it's not my wounded heart skips a beat
With every moment when I saw you walking down the street
No this is not loneliness
It's not an abandoned love
It's a strange kind of feeling
That comes from above

Float down the river Jenny tonight
Float down the river Jenny tonight
And if you see my darling would you tell her I’m alright
And float down the river Jenny tonight
Take all my money Jenny tonight
Won’t you take all my money Jenny tonight
Please tell my dad that I’ve died in a fight
And take all my money Jenny tonight
Won’t you put on my raincoat on your shoulders tonight?
Won’t you put down this raincoat on your shoulders tonight?
And if the night catches you would you shine on the light
And don’t forget to put on this raincoat tonight
Float down the river Jenny tonight
Float down the river Jenny tonight
And if you see my darling would you tell her I’m alright
And float down the river Jenny tonight

Nobody's Daughter

When you ‘d gone away, nobody’s daughter
You made me sat and follow the water
Well, you kept my head up in the skies for so much longer
But the silence prevails on me and getting stronger
Oh-oh, nobody’s daughter
Someday you’ll find me on my best suit
Someday you’ll find me, but it won’t last for good
You’ve stolen my sunshine and hide it from me in the ocean
And now I am lying here, waiting for motion
Oh-oh, nobody’s daughter

Tonight all alone I’m gonna sit down my front porch
And watch the raindrops wash my memories away
The bottle of bourbon and a pack of cheap cigarettes
They are telling me you’ll never look back my way
‘Cuz when you gone away I’m like a captain without sea
There’s a black hole where my heart used to be
I remember those days when a sun lighted my face
And the skies were permanent blue
Today love has faded and disappeared somehow
I’m not sure that I could make it all through
‘Cuz when you gone away I’m like a pot without tea
There’s a black hole where my heart used to be
‘Cuz when you gone away I’m slowly dying can’t you see
There’s a black hole where my heart used to be

There’s needless to say, you’re changing my world
You’re giving me everything I ever needed, my beautiful girl
Over my heart a highway is running
Over your wonderful curls I can see the sun downing
You will be my Marilyn and I will be your Elvis
This is what we’re supposed to be forever and always
And do you remember our first day at school
I just carried your bag with the books
And you had broken up all the rules
I cannot tell if you’ll be my darling
But I could wait all night long at your house
Just to sing you good morning
You will be my Marilyn and I will be your Elvis
This is what we’re supposed to be forever and always

Too Far

I’m living in a small city
With a big-big heart in it
With a river kissing its borders
And green-green woods embracing it
I will never get too far from this
No, I’ll never get too far
I’m hurrying to work every morning
Riding my bicycle with a wind as a company
I’m coming home late at night
I’m kissing my sunny day to sleep well
Will I ever get too far from this?
No, I’ll never get too far
I’ve got a couple of trusty friends
That making every weekend fun
And I’ve got a true love inside of me
And all I need is to be loved
Will I ever get too far from this?
No, I’ll never get too far

Hello, my name is Johnny Smith
And I’ve come from Nowheretown
Where everybody is so in grief
And no one is around
Now, listen to my story
About the days gone by
I’d got used to eternal rains
And fogs and ice and snow
I’d got used to work every day
‘Cuz it’s the only job I know
But one day I sat down
And dreamed of what my life could be
My children are my poems
And a road became my bride
All of my broken bones are healed
And there’s no weight across my spine
I’m ready to enjoy my life
I’ll make it out alive somehow.
My jeans are worn, my boots
Are always covered with a dirt
I’ll never get rid off
From all these patches on my shirt
I’ll always be a nomad, yeah
But that’s a kind of life for me

When I’m looking at my window
I can see the sun is coming down
And I’m thinking now, my honey,
That your love is the best thing I have found
When I’m sitting in my cane chair
In the bush I hear a song of the hummingbird
And I’m dreaming of your voice, dear,
It’s the sweetest sound that I'd ever heard
When I feel the wind a-blowing
Shaking leaves and flowers on the hill
I remember the touch of your hands
It’s the softest touch I could ever feel
When I’m sipping on cheap whiskey
It can recall the heat of your first kiss
And whenever I have gone, babe,
The taste of your lips is the taste I’ll always miss
When I’m looking at my window
I can see the sun is coming down
And I’m thinking now, my honey,
That your love is the best thing I have found

It’s been a hard day’s night, honey
It’s been a hard day’s night, honey
So don’t wake me up in the morning
So don’t wake me up on Sunday
It’s been a bright week all along
It’s been so goddamn hard week all along
So don’t speak too much, let’s keep silence
So don’t speak too much, let’s hear the silence

Hold Fast

Have you ever feel alone
Have you spent days on your own
When your parents just ignore you
And your friends don’t seem to care
When it’s all you can do is cry
And it’s hard to make another try
When the whole world is burning
And you feel like you fade away
Cause I do
And I wrote this song for you
Has anyone said to your face
That your clothes are in a bad taste
And the t-shirt with your favorite band
Is not a proper thing to wear?
Have you got your ass kicked at school,
Because your hairstyle is not so cool
Have you ever fought for your statements
Like it was your final day?
Cause I do
And I sing this song for you
Hold fast! Don’t lose the rope
Hold fast! Don’t lose the rope
