Alice by Tom Waits (covered)

Lets see how quiet i can be while singing and playing the guitar.

Alice by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan

It's dreamy weather we're on
You wave your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
With a frozen moon
A murder of silhouettes, crows I saw ...
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond they spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's the wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass
On the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby, all that I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic
Arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat
How did the razor find my throat
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and
I'm lost over there
But I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice There's only Alice

Covering a Tom Waits song and managing to getting the same kind of magic is near impossible, but you just about pulled it off. Some of Tom Waits' strongest lyrics in this song in my opinion.

[Picardy]

Best cover I've ever heard - well done, sir.

[dajuanblues]
