Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Ain’t got no money, cupboards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
Now the only sound left is the morning bird singing
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place
Well now I've officially had one of those moments where I can relate to a song on a scarily accurate and intense level. I love Tom Waits, such an amazing musician and genius.
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Ain't got no money, cubards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
Now the only sound left is the morning bird singing
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place
Sometimes, I feel miserable and than I put on some of Tom Waits' songs and everything starts to make sence. Somehow. I still feel quite miserable but it's different.
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Ain't got no money, cupboards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
Now the only sound left is the morning bird singing
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place
Tom Waits - Blue Skies
I do love Tom Waits' music. So much of it I can relate to, and it does somehow take me to more places (mentally) than most music. At this moment I am down and exactly where I choose to be.....listening to a man who has obviously been there...
this man went from clean acoustic music, to jazz and blues, and then ended up doing really dark music, I have never seen an artist change there style so many times and still have there every song amazing. truly underrated.
The quiet brilliance and soul-bearing passion is what drew me in to the magic of Tom Waits to begin with. Once he's got you, he's got you and you grow with him. I am always so moved by his songs :-)
Thanks for the slide show, a friend of mine sent me this song and it's really growing on me. It's amazing how I've been in music my whole life and never knew about Tom Waits. I am now a fan. Great songs and emotions.....
