Tom Waits

(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)
They bought a round for the sailor
And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that wed never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale
He said, You cannot live in the ocean
And she said to him
You never can live in the sky
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
Theres a whale in the moon when its clear
And a bird on the tide
Please dont cry
Let me dry your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
Ill never sail back to the time
But Ill always pretend youre mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart
Please dont cry
Let me dry your eyes
And tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
Ill never sail back to the time
But Ill always pretend that youre mine
I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart
