Tara Danko well, we met some nice people, and we had some music too

You could never say what Christmas met to me Cause your pleasure dome went out of travesty And the home you made lost it s hospitality And them glorious words of yours turn out to be just what they'll be You're cold and twisted like the moon Let me tell you I've been searchin' for so long And your shining face was smiling oh so wrong And the home you made lost it's hospitality And them glorious words of yours turned out to be just what they'll be You're cold and twisted like the moon

Windy thoughts upon the avenue Standing here and wonderin' what to do What am I to do, babe Now when I'm restin' of you I'm capable to be your man But I guess you just don't want me to I'll have to be what I was before I fulfilled Myself with you Livin' and dyin' Each 'n' every way I'm tryin' I'm a restless cowboy woman, Across this universe I'm flyin'
3.
Never could anyone who simply lives to die Say that your valentine loves you more than I And never could anyone who just shits around to live Can speak of something that's just on me to give But with these kinds of thoughts I won't get much far to put you out of my dreams Right into my car Well it's a pity, I'm lightnin' a cigar 'cause i'll always have my dreams But I never had a car

Well, we were headin' Holland cross the German borderline And me and ZP's girlfriend we were quarellin' all the time We arrived at New Years eve, surrounded by the Dordrecht crew And I left my wife and my kid at home, and I left my lover too We met some nice people, and we made some music too But I couldn't stand the happiness, so had to leave too soon ZP and girl were skyhigh and I was busted for a dope My Dutch girlfriend asked me if I care, and I surely answered - Nope! They deported me, so I came back home A Goulden was all I owned ZP thought we could call ourselves Dr Wasted and Mr Stoned (Well, I didn't mind)...
5.
Babe, c'mon home, sweet child of mine, sweet woman of mine, come on home Left by me and left by world, You didn't say a single word Your footsteps still right on that square Your voice just 'bout everywhere Baby, come on home, sweet woman of mine, come on home Left by me in a lifelong time, our life wasn't worth a dime Memories of been, what's passed, only in our teardrops lasted Baby, c'mon home, sweet darling, sweet lover of mine, c'mon home...
6.
Hard times, hard times, where to run and hide Seems you occupied all my pieces of mind Get into darkness and then deeper in the shade You always got reasons and there are some still to be made We are one and nothing more Now we're headin' to the shore Some sweet jazz floatin' away
7.
Don t know what to do with my life Can't even control my dreams There's a darkness overyond my pillow Psychoanalytic kind of thing There's been a lighthouse castle Somewhere behind the shade I guess I'm gonna get me another I think I'll fix it and get it made And I still do not know What it is I've been searchin' for And I still can not find Them secret treasure I once had on my mind
8.
Crawling through the suburbs on the outskirts of town These are the places my old friends drown me down Nothing but the dark stars shining on me Loneliness seems to be my destiny Listen to the old man He sings like the sounds of sea shells Forever he'll be helpless in them chaos of chords And bittersweet lyrics singing eternally Is there a place I could hang around Is there any chance for my woman to be found I see no light shining down on me I sing my song eternally Listen to the old man He sings like thousand sea shells Forever he'll be helpless in them chaos of chords And bittersweet lyrics singing eternally

Look-A -Here are you really in love? Come closer there are more lovers to come Look-A -Here I'm your future game, Your years to come came to the outskirts of town Downtown, down the avenue Skies up above, remain totally blue There's a woman in the deepest darkness And her desert's waiting on me Orleans, beaoucup chaun sein Van Dome C escue te tout la vie, refugee Slowly the moon passed away And we left the neon garden Emptiness is here to stay And the Moon left aside Open wide
10.
St Gotthard miss, so she left the train Tiptoed through her town Good evening, said the rain Her mother was asleep And so was her dog So I was standing there Chatting with the fog You are what you are, babe, Ain't no distance that's too far, Living is up here, babe, in the air...

about

Wooden Ambulance Subotica, Serbia

Wooden Ambulance will crush your heart. No doubt about it.
And you will still ask for more.

After years of laughter and tears, love and drunken nights, broken strings and fingernails, Wooden Ambulance write with the intensity not many musicians have. Far north, where the vast planes meet the horizon they open their souls to play you rough chords that will charm your days to come.
