Tom Waits - Lonely (lyrics)

[mystro810]

You dont need to read the lyrics to know what he is saying. You dont even need to speak English....

[IGotARight]

I love your ending on this. Thank you for it, may it help someone.

Can I just point out that this song is actually from the album Closing Time 1973 on the Asylum label and not from the Album Raindogs. Closing time is probably his best album. Just so you know.

@fretmonkee thank you and yes I realized my error but this song was too difficult to get up on youtube and I cannot redo it....I appreciate your help ;)

Whats up with the 8 dislikes.. If you cant relate to this song then you have never been alone under the stars at the bottom of the world, or something..

FROM TOM'S BIGGEST AND OLDEST FAN TO SOME OF YOU FOOLS: 1st, "where are the lyrics?" - Right Under the Video, like with lots of songs with lyrics on u-toob. 2nd, "can't find another version on u-yoob?" - Tom don't perform this live often, like, just about never... and not many have the balls (though some have the talent) to try doing a cover of this, BECAUSE they know they can't beat THIS. Tom wins again. To the rest of ya's: BOTTOMS UP.

@surf3rj03 love Tom Waits.....thanks for the comment....cheers!! ;)

[booster330]

@surf3rj03 Why did he never perform this song live?

[foreveralwaysalone]

Is this the only fucking upload this on here? I can't find another version of this song uploaded on youtube.

[mikecat23]

[DSabbah]

[mystro810]

Ive never understood a song more completely than this...

[supernova92024]

where the hell are the lyrics? when you put "lyrics "in your title that means you have lyrics to the song, typically that's why people mention "lyrics" in there title.....

[themadamej]

@supernova92024 press the "show more" the lyrics are there......

@themadamej - At the end of the video, it says it's from Rain Dogs. I do love the video. The images work very well with the song.

[themadamej]

@tomrom7 oh no!! I see it now!! dang!!!! Thank you for pointing that out but i cannot fix it, but at least I have it right in the description and you are the only one to have noticed or at least to tell me!! Dunno how the heck I wrote that album name in the closing credits......and I had such a heck of a time getting the vid up that I don't want to try to reupload it.....thank you for enjoying the images......just my interpretation of the song :) Again thank you!!! :)

[themadamej]

[TheDinahoney]

[themadamej]

@TheDinahoney yes.......hopefully. Without hope we have nothing at all......

[DBZO12]

This has been my fav Tom Waits song since I first started litsening to him. U can really feel the emotion

[themadamej]

@DBZO12 you can feel it........can nearly reach out and touch the emotion in his voice :)

[jomidi]

Nice video, but I think the lyric is "I thought that I knew" rather than "I thought that I'd do".

[themadamej]

@jomidi yes you are right........silly me!! thanx for your imput ::)
