Hlukhiv (Ukrainian: Глухів, Polish: Głuchów) or Glukhov (Russian: Глухов) is a small historic town on Yesman River. Currently it is a city of regional significance in the Sumy region of Ukraine, just south of the Russian border (see map).
It is known for being a capital of the Cossack Hetmanate after deposition of Ivan Mazepa in 1708-1764. As of 2005, the city's population is 36,100. Today near the city located the former Soviet Chervone Pustohorod air base. Beside the city of Hlukhiv, to the Hlukhiv municipality belongs a village Sliporod.
First noticed by chroniclers as a Severian town in 1152. Sometime in 1247 Hlukhiv became the seat of a branch of the princely house of Chernigov following the Mongol invasion of Rus. Between 1320 and 1503 it was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before being conquered by the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In 1618 it became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (in the Czernihów Voivodeship of the Crown of Poland) and was granted Magdeburg Rights in 1644 by Władysław IV Vasa. In 1648-1764 it was part of the Cossack Hetmanate within the Nizhyn Regiment (province).
Whatever happened to you
Telling the truth
Now this will be the hardest
Thing that I'll do
This conversation is getting old
Just so you know I thought
The world of you
Why couldn't you let me know
That you were begging for attention
Cause I wouldn't have let you go
(I need to leave this light obsession)
To hold you down
To watch you drown
I'm taking back
Every breath I've wasted on you
Whatever happened to the person you were
This war between us has been tearing us apart
My hands are stained, what can I do
This is the only thing that I have left
Why couldn't you let me know
That you were begging for attention
Cause I wouldn't have let you go
(I need to leave this light obsession)
To hold you down
To watch you drown
So lay back
(And watch me take this from you)
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Don't let me go, just let me take over
Don't let me take your time
Don't let me down
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Til you show me what you got
I gave you everything you asked
But now I'm taking it back
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Don't let me go, just let me take over
Don't let me take your time
Don't let me down
Let's make this count tonight
We'll turn out every light
Til you show me what you've got
And now there's nothing left
I'm taking back every promise I made
You can count on me
I'm taking back every promise I made
You can count on me for nothing
