  • That bridge on this song....

    "Close your eyes, and count to ten

    I will go and hide but then....

    Be sure to find me

    I want you to find me

    And we'll play all over...

    We'll play all over.....again."

    Like having a truck run over me.

  • This song gets to the heart of loss. That thousand year old voice, gets me every time.

  • @sclogse1 Brother (or Sister) you ain't kidding about that bridge. But you know, he's only human, and one day he'll be gone, and the rest of us will cry real tears and remember his music.

  • Awesome song from the best artist ever born.

  • yeah check out bone machine.....or the book the low side of the road...tom is great..................

  • What would Simon and Randy and Paula and that ilk do with somebody like Tom Waits?

  • if there is a god i don't think we can even comprehend his form, my best guess is that we are only a byproduct of a gassius nature (a fart made of hydrogen) of a higher being who occupies nowhere and has no thoughts that has gone horribly right in the case of tom waits, tears tickle cheeks, enjoy your next cry, for the record my vote is there is no god

  • For the little girl- child who was killed...I'm so sorry but , neither Tom nor I have the answers... little angel, "but be sure you find me, .I want you to find me and we'll play all over, we'll play all over, we'll play all over again//

  • @sclogse1 Truer words have never been spoken. I'm completely imobile when that part plays. This is really the only song I've ever cried to and I'm not ashamed of that. I feel like a better person for crying. I'm only human and when I heard this song for the first time, I was at a point in my life where I needed to be reminded that. Thank you Tom Waits.

  • The first tie Tom touched my dried up cynical heart was a song called Martha. My son gave me Mule variations for my birthday and I learned to play Yo Picture in a Frame. Then one night I was riding home from my part time job put it in the CD player and Georgia Lee came on. I had to pull over. I've tried to due it. I can play it fine guitar or Piano. By the time I get to the end of the second chorus my throat is so closed up I can't go on! What a Poet, What a MAN! God bless you Tom Waits

  • Is anyone able to play this song? I mean, I consider myself quite the cold fish, but damn... Once I made it all the way to "I want you to find me", but I'm usually to choked up to sing by the second verse.

  • This song reaches down infinitely deep inside and just pulls out all your guts and spills them at your feet.
