Couple Sad'uns from Tom Waits

[zenbooty]

You're Innocent When You Dream
----------------------------------------
The bats are in the belfry,
The dew is on the moor.
Where are the arms that held me,
And pledged her love before?

And pledged her love before?

It's such a sad old feeling,
The fields are soft and green.
It's memories that I'm stealng,
But you're innocent,
When you dream, when you dream.
You're innocent when you dream.

Running through the graveyard
We laughed my friends and I
We swore we'd be together
Until the day we died

Until the day we died

It's such a sad old feeling,
The fields are soft and green.
It's memories that I'm stealng,
But you're innocent,
When you dream, when you dream.
You're innocent when you dream.

I made a golden promise,
That we would never part.
I gave my love a locket,
And then I broke her heart.

And then I broke her heart.

It's such a sad old feeling,
The fields are soft and green.
It's memories that I'm stealng,
But you're innocent,
When you dream, when you dream.
You're innocent when you dream.







A Little Rain
---------------------------------
The Ice Man's mule is parked right outside the bar
Where a man with missing fingers plays a strange guitar.
And the German dwarf dances with the butcher's son.
And a little rain,
Never hurt no one.
And a little rain,
Never hurt no one.

They're dancing on the roof,
And the ceiling's coming down.
I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves.
And a little trouble makes it worth the coin.
And a little rain,
Never hurt no one.

The world is round, and so I'll go around.
You must risk something that matters.
My hands are strong, I'll take any man here.
If it's worth the going, It's worth the ride.

She was 15 years old, and never seen the ocean.
She climbed into a van
with a vagabond.
And the last thing she said,
Was, "I love you mom."

And a little rain.
Never hurt no one.
And a little rain.
Never hurt no one.

You know he wrote both "Downtown Train" (Most people know Rod Stewart's cover of it), and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up?" (Ramones).

F**king crazy genius, that guy is.
