"O'leno town": ghost town on the Santa Fe, a swinging bridge built in the 1930's is still there.  

Roll On, River   c. 2023 by Mike Manetz

V. 1
The river was Timucuan,
Before the comin' of the white-man's gun.
'Neath the giant cypress trees,
They fished the river wild and free.
Spanish priests came one day,
Taught the natives how to pray,
Named the river Santa Fe,
River watched them fade away.

Chorus
Roll on, river,
On and on forever,
She'll be rollin' on when we're all passed and gone.
Through centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
Roll on, river,
Roll on,
River, roll on...

V2
Cracker cowboys took control,
After driving out the Seminole.
Their cattle on the muddy banks,
Would feed the hungry rebel ranks.
Black man runnin' to be free, 
Down the Santa Fe on to the sea.
Midnight paddle down to where,
A Yankee gunboat's waitin' there.

Chorus

V 3  
Lovers at O'Leno town,
On a swingin' bridge they're lookin' down,
River rushes there below,
Like a thousand years ago.
Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
But the river holds the memories,
Of all she touches, all she sees...

Chorus




Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
Of all of those who came before,
Guess it doesn't matter anymore...

Centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
All they left is all but washed away,
Their kids will play computer games,
And forget the history and the names,
of all of those who came before,
They don't care much for that anymore...

Roll On, River

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Not stripped, but certainly not very well dressed, and with a few tweaks.

FOR YESTERDAY

Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good
Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good

Walked to the gate
Not a worry in the sky
Turned to my baby and I waved her goodbye
Saw her through the window
Sweet tear in her eye
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

I picked up the phone
Dialed a memorized number
Told her I love her didn’t talk about the weather
Sat at my desk
Wrote the first of many letters
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good

I went to the bar
Started talking to my neighbor
Nobody thought I was a sicko stranger
Didn’t think twice
I gave my name and number
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good
It was so easy
It was so good

For Yesterday Scantily Clad

LIGHT OF DAY

Lyric after translation :

When I Miss You

Quietly, like on tiptoe, I dance the waltz with you
Gazing like a moth at the fiery glow of your eyes
And you smile, so unaware that
More and more often I lose my breath when I see them.

Let... no one call me today,
Let me keep dreaming!
For my heart will stop beating
Let... no one wake me today,

When I miss you, the world loses its colors
I lose myself in dreams of our days
When I miss you, nothing else matters
I wrap you in my thoughts and ask you, come.

Quietly, like on tiptoe, I keep dancing the waltz
I immerse myself in the heat of hot dreams
And you smile, so unaware that
More and more often I lose my breath when I see you.

Let... no one call me today,
Let me keep dreaming!
For my heart will stop beating
Let... no one wake me today,

When I miss you, the world loses its colors
I lose myself in dreams of our days
When I miss you, nothing else matters
I wrap you in my thoughts and ask you, come.

When I miss you, the world loses its colors
I lose myself in dreams of our days
When I miss you, nothing else matters
I wrap you in my thoughts and ask you, come.

When I miss you...

Kiedy Tęsknię (Prod.Matthew May)

Music and Lyrics by the amazingly talented The Corking Crack Band.  https://soundcloud.com/lee_boyes-128832399

I listened for your keys at the door
And I waited for your steps upon the floor
I picked up my drawing of cows and barns
Then ran into your coat and your scarf and your arms

You showed me that fear is forbidden
You told me that pain should be hidden
You smacked me, you struck me when I opened my eyes
You taught me that truth hurts more than lies

Oh I, yes I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, you won’t see the tears I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

I hope for a day
A day of diamonds and dreams
I hope you will say
Things are not as they seem
I pray you will take me
Your hand on my cheek
And tell me you love me
And you’re sorry for being so weak
Oh daddy…

I can still smell the green grass you mowed
Every Sunday, cut blades blew across the road
So little was there on show
The roots are still deep and still guide how they grow

Oh I, yes I’m not sad and lonely
You won’t see, you won’t see the tears that I cry
Oh I, no I’m not sad and lonely
It’s just the way the rain falls every time that we say goodbye

The Way the Rain Falls (With The Corking Crack Band)

（Hard Rock）
The river flows, heading to the sea
Embraced by the vast ocean, singing happily
Diving into the waterfall, spinning with force
Once it falls, it can never be seawater again (forever)

**(Verse 1)**
The river flows, heading to the sea
Embraced by the vast ocean, singing happily
Diving into the waterfall, spinning with force
Once it falls, it can never be seawater again (forever)

**(Pre-Chorus)**
In the current, we find the path of sound threads
Crossing through the midnight night, advancing to the morning
The moon lights up the way for us
Let’s accept whatever this journey brings

**(Chorus)**
I am the water of life, strong and free
Flowing endlessly, in search of liberty
Never giving up, hope in my heart for the threads of sound
Journeying to the future, to a brand new start

**(Verse 2)**
Surging ahead over rocks and rapids
Overcoming any obstacle, without fear
Even when wounded, I keep pushing through
My strength is boundless, like the newly rising sound of the waterfall

**(Pre-Chorus)**
In the current, we find love for the sound
Moving beyond places, advancing to the morning
The moon lights up the way for us
Let’s embrace whatever it brings, let’s love

**(Chorus)**
I am the water of life, strong and free
Flowing endlessly, in search of liberty
Never giving up, music in my heart
Journeying to the future, to a brand new start

**(Bridge)**
As rain, I nourish the wide land
The source of life, where all things reside
I am the water of life, the symbol of love in the sound of water
This story continues, like the stars and the moon

**(Outro)**
When the river meets the sea, the dream of music takes flight
Guided by the threads of the moon lighting up the midnight night
In this endless dance, the water shines (the sound sparkles)
I keep flowing, living the dream of music

Lyric after translation :

'I Struggle'

I thought I had it all behind me.
Living life to the fullest. Just being myself.
I thought I could slip through without a sound,
quietly on tiptoe along this fine line of fate.

How misty and quite illusory it was.
Life can be cruel, after all.
It gave me... a semblance of happiness,
just for a moment, to take it away brutally.

I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.

I struggle. I hold my head.
I struggle. I don't know what I'll do with it.
I struggle. I hold my heart.
I struggle. I don't know if I want more.

I struggle. I hold my head.
I struggle. I don't know what I'll do with it.
I struggle. I hold my heart.
I struggle. I don't know if I want more.

I thought everything was ahead of me.
Holding the light. I sank into darkness.
I thought I would live in warmth.
Now I’m falling straight into hell.

How misty and quite illusory it was.
Life can be cruel, after all.
It gave me... a semblance of happiness,
just for a moment, to take it away brutally.

I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.

I struggle. I hold my head.
I struggle. I don't know what I'll do with it.
I struggle. I hold my heart.
I struggle. I don't know if I want more.

I struggle. I hold my head.
I struggle. I don't know what I'll do with it.
I struggle. I hold my heart.
I struggle. I don't know if I want more.

I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.
I struggle.

"LoVe SMS"


You say you love me. You say it every day.
You keep sending me beautiful texts.
I read every letter and word by word.
I don't understand the meaning. It doesn't fit in my head.

When I open my eyes and
look at my phone,
the only thing I find there
is just the echo of dreams.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

You say you love me. You write it consistently.
These constant texts, so hot and fiery.
I absorb every letter and word by word.
And even though I don't know the meaning, they bubble in my head.

You say you love me. You repeat it every day.
Thousands of texts, twisted so beautifully.
I see every word, I feel the letters too.
I marvel at the colors and their great warmth.

When I open my eyes and
look at my phone,
the only thing I find there
is just the echo of dreams.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

I'm opening my eyes now
And I know full well,
that it was that dream.
That one... only dream.

You say you love me. You keep writing to me.
I don't believe it because it must be a dream.
You say you love me. Why do you write like this to me?
After all, I know you're a dream...
A dream like no other.

Smoky Faces of Love.
