RIVER WHISPERS

Album “Hurricana”

I'll come undone, my wayward son 

it's no easy street where I come from 

 well it’s been so long since a cold dark night 

I got the flame here and it’s burning bright

across the forests, across the sea

life in the city ain't done much for me           

where the water’s clearer I'll be bound

I've never lost and I’ve never found

And you're so far, far away from home, poor boy 

You’re so far from where you've been

River whispers, carry me home 

and let our bodies lay to rest  

Where the gators swim, Where the crane bird sings

oh mighty river please pull me in

be my hands, my guiding light 

where have you been all my life 

You never showed me any grace 

the water hides tears from your face 

and that's why I will always sing 

I found my strength in suffering

and you're so far, far away from home poor boy 

you’re so far from where you've been 

river whispers carry me home and let our bodies lay to rest 

WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD

Album “Hurricana”

In my old town, I can't step in line 

we’re stuck here like fishes in the mud 

wanna go to the country, gonna raise a little family 

I’m leaving this place for good

Two good arms, got all my charms 

and every stranger will fall in love at least, (I’m)

not stuck here on the wrong side of the road 

I got vicious and I got mean 

now I'm stuck here like the fishes in the mud 

my empty promises are so meaningless 

they’re gone away for good

everybody’s gone, I’m all alone 

am I doing this right, am I doing this wrong?

(it) looks like I'm stuck here on the wrong side of the road

Now i’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road again 

stuck here on the wrong side of the road

again 

and lord if there's a heaven would you still let me in? (well)

I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road again 

with the evening sun, my day is done 

I have a hard time to find my way in 

bound to live in a trailer, while I'm working for my paper

I will never see my home again 

it's getting dark, but there's a spark 

Do you feel alive ? Do you feel your heartbeat ?

I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road

 I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road

again 

stuck here on the wrong side of the road

again 

and lord if there's a heaven would you still let me in? (well)

I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road again

Since I left the city well I never felt so alone 

Oh pretty stranger how can you know my name, why can’t you take me home 

somebody help me lord I’ve been dying for so long 

it won't be long, but then he left 

and now he’s gone and then he wept

I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road

again 

stuck here on the wrong side of the road

again 

and lord if there's a heaven would you still let me in? (well)

I’m stuck here on the wrong side of the road again

FOREVER AND A DAY

Album “Hurricana”

Bless, oh bless my mother's stone

Buried in June, a little close to home

and she didn't run away from the corn and the hay

she learned how to love and that's why she stayed

my oh may beautiful was she

Buried in June in ‘73 and she woke up all alone with her pockets full of stones

Buried in the river and now she's gone

It ain’t easy when you’re buried at the bottom of the river

Bottom of the river sinking down alone

and she woke up alone with her pockets full of stones

Buried in the water and now she’s gone

Why Why Why Oh Way

My baby is gone forever and a day

Forever and a day, forever and a day

But I’ll get back on my feet someday

Charlie boy, Charlie boy, what have I done?

Bless me I’m your father, I’m the only one

and she woke up alone with her pockets full of stones

Buried in the river and now she’s gone

it ain’t easy when you’re buried at the bottom of the river

Bottom of the river sinking down alone

and she woke up alone with her pockets full of stones

Buried in the river and now she’s gone

(She’s singing)

Why Why Why Oh Way

My baby is gone forever and a day

Forever and a day, forever and a day

But I’ll get back on my feet someday

THE RAVEN AND THE OAK BRANCH TREE

Album “Hurricana”

Da-svi-da-niya, fare thee well

Sink to the bottom like a stone 

I heard a song about the ravens and the crows 

I’m going home

I deserve to go home

They sentenced me for murder 

'cause the devil's inside my bones

Long ago, (Long ago!)

I was born long ago 

I heard a song about the ravens and the crows 

And now I know (now I know!) Hell is calling, now I know 

They’ve sentenced me for murder, 'cause the devil's inside my soul

They’ve sentenced me for murder, 'cause the devil's inside my soul

There’s a raven up high, it’s calling me

He’s talking ‘bout the devils in the oak branch tree

He’s speaking in a language only I can hear:

‘Will you save them?

There’s a raven up high, it’s calling me

He’s talking ‘bout the devils in the oak branch tree

He’s speaking in a language only I can hear:

‘Will you save them? Will you set them free?’

I’ve got Whisky in the bottle,

put my head inside a noose

THE WISHING WELL

Album “Hurricana”

Did you hear the story about Mary ?

She was seen with another man

her father was preaching, when they found her in the deep

when a man is creeping at church stairs

 And you can’t stop thinking about that wishing well 

And you can’t stop drinking from that wishing well 

And you can’t stop thinking about that wishing well 

shine a little light on me 

Father please tell me that she's alright ?

should I go and make my tombstone ?

well,  the devil’s in the corner he puts his hand on my shoulder     

bring daddy’s little daughter home 

and you can’t stop thinking about that wishing well 

and you can’t stop drinking from that wishing well 

and you can’t stop thinking about that wishing well 

shine a little light on me

STARLIGHT DREAMER

Album “Hurricana”

Starlight dreamer, stranger in the light 

can you come and reach for me 

gliding through the night 

and if you take me, make sure I know that I don't fall 

please let me know 

please let me know starlight dreamer 

when it’s my time to let go

Starlight dreamer please carry me home 

there are some people waiting 

maybe they feel all alone 

but if you’re the moon and I'm just a star 

we've lost the fight, but we'll win the war

Please let me know starlight dreamer know I see you 

for who you are

We’re floating by the old clouding streams 

I see some lanterns glowing, they glow just for me

I'm so scared to let go and when there's no blood left to bleed,  a heart is no heart when it don't beat

Starlight dreamer I wonder now and then 

tell me a story of how my life began 

there's somebody I know, let your wings glow 

please let me know, please let me know 

you're my starlight dreamer 

it's time to let you go 

RUN BROTHER RUN

Album “Hurricana”

Howdy Boy, howdy boy 

Nothing can stop my joy 

 All you mothers, sisters, daughters are you here to fill my void ? 

You can try, you can try 

and boy I'll tell you why 

get some slammer from the freezer 

'cause my throat is bottom dry

Here I come, here I come

What will happen when I’m done 

Stretched out highway right in front of me 

I feel that burning sun 

Almost time, almost time 

I see that finish line 

Something’s wrong with my head 

but my feet are doing fine 

 Run brother run

and when the day is done 

I'm-a keep on drinking 'cause I outdrink everyone 

run brother run and when the day is done

save some whiskey for the cows 

run brother run

I will never, ever tell another lie 

The crowd is shouting, they are shouting 

please don’t die 

and make me oh make me 

If I try to close the door  

When I’m finally free, I'll spend my days here on the floor 

But I fell down at my surprise 

Run brother run 

I'll see you when the sun will rise 

Run brother run 

I shouldn't have drunk that last beer 

Run brother run 

Please someone get me out of here 

Run brother run 

Don’t ask me here to promise, stop begging me for more I’ll be counting sheep, after I rob the liquor store 

Run brother run

and when the day is done 

I'm-a keep on drinking 'cause I outdrink everyone 

run brother run and when the day is done

save some whiskey for the cows 

I will make my final vows cause I’ll

I will make you feel alive and now I’ll run brother run

Run brother run

YOUR KINGDOM BURNING

Album “Hurricana”

When a pile of bodies are burning 

screams the echo of the dawn

Hear us marching all my sons and daughters 

we're all coming home

and if your joy slowly turns into heartache

and when it cuts you like a knife 

When you hear the bells, may it remind you

to fight for what is right 

When our ship comes crashing down 

we’ll keep our bodies safe and sound 

Tear the wrong ones from the right 

Dark is dark and light is light 

May the ocean, may the wind 

bring me in your arms again 

You can raise your flag while we watch our bodies drown 

  as your kingdom’s burning down 

Like a pack of hyenas we’re coming 

you can try to make us crawl 

I will make my mark as the ship comes in 

set me off like a cannonball 

and you can call me a lying deceiver

and when our mast is on fire 

Don’t fear, my brother, I will guide you

forever by your side 

When our ship comes crashing down 

we’ll keep our bodies safe and sound 

Tear the wrong ones from the right 

Dark is dark and light is light 

May the ocean, may the wind 

bring me in your arms again 

You can raise your flag while we watch our bodies drown 

  as your kingdom’s burning down  

Hunt the shores and hunt the waves 

Hunt us like a hurricane

We’re waiting here on our sailors grave 

Hoist the anchors, call the troops

we will bust your cannons loose 

we’re waiting here on our dying day 

As your kingdom’s burning down!

When our ship comes crashing down

we’ll keep our bodies safe and sound 

Tear the wrong ones from the right 

Dark is dark and light is light 

May the ocean, may the wind 

bring me in your arms again 

You can raise your flag while we watch our bodies drown

We’re waiting for our dying day

LONG GONE / CAGED BIRD

Album “Hurricana”

 I was born with a troubled mind, dear

always dreaming when I was a child

never meant to fall that night 

I just never learned how to fly, 

never learned how to fly 

Always searching for something more

never knew that one day i’d be gone

the fear of losing everything I own 

a wandering soul, no place to call home

no place to call my own

I am gone 

I am long gone

I am gone long gone long gone

I am gone

I am long gone

I am gone long gone, long gone

gone long gone long gone

Forgive me father, for I have sinned

it’s hard to fly these broken wings

Now I finally see that open road

guide me to a place where I belong 

so long, my friend, so long

I am gone 

I am long gone

I am gone long gone long gone

I am gone

I am long gone

I am gone long gone long gone

gone long gone long gone
