Nespo Johnny Live @ Eddie’s Attic 11.8.09

[Spoken: Niespodziani]
Thank you. I hope that I, uh, am a better entertainer than I am at avoiding being klutzy
[Spoken: Audience]
You got a sweet shirt!
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
Thank you! It took me a long time to knit this shirt. 'Cause it's knit flannel; that's how I roll. You're probably wondering why I'm wearing sunglasses
[Spoken: Audience, scattered]
Yeah. Yeah
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
I'm not gonna tell you. Actually, the fact of the matter is that I'm, despite my public persona, I'm very uncomfortable with eye contact. So, uh, please avert your eyes whenever you talk to me
[Spoken: Different audience member]
Your shirt is awesome!
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
I'm not talking about my shirt anymore. I'm trying to talk about my sunglasses; we'rе on a completely differеnt level with fashion at thish point, my friend. Speaking of fashion, I recently got a new ring! Uh, this one right here, which means that I'm married, which not all girls tend to recognize
[Spoken: Female audience member]
We appreciate her!
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
But there's one that definitely does, & that's my wife. Uh, I wrote this song for her; she's here tonight
[Verse 1]
From mountain lakes to the dusty valleys
I've carried these secrets for wrong or right
But I'm tired of wandering cold and empty
With no one to share my nights
My mind's been playing tricks so cruel
A mirage, an illusion, until there was you
So I tell you I can love you like a spy
But the truth only sounds like a lie
[Chorus]
But I wouldn't lie to you
I've got nothing to hide from you
Wherever you are, I'll be beside you
Because that's where I stand
And I'll be your honest man
[Verse 2]
I know we come from different places
And sometimes that distance can seem too much
But we can put smiles on hopeful faces
All we have to do is touch
And these separate towns full of lonely hearts
Suddenly won't feel so far apart
When the old way of things no longer applies
And the truth almost sounds like a lie
[Chorus]
But I wouldn't lie to you
I've got nothing to hide from you
Wherever you are, I'll be beside you
Because that's where I stand
And I'll be your honest man
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I'll take you down to a quiet border
Where a promise is more than a whisper swarm
We'll watch the stars fall out of order
Like wishes being born
The sky is big and the morning light
Comes across so bright, it almost burns your eyes
(Which is why you have to wear sunglasses)
It's the place where all good rumors go to die
And the truth almost sounds like a lie
[Chorus]
But I wouldn't lie to you
I've got nothing to hide from you
Wherever you are, I'll be beside you
Because that's where I stand
And I'll be your honest man
[Outro]
I'll be your honest man
