Tom Waits - It's Over

From the CD Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

You must have brought the bad weather with me
The sky's the colour of lead
All you've left me is a feather
On an unmade bed

It's always me whenever there's trouble
The world does nothing but turn
And the ring it fell off my finger
I guess I'll never learn

But it's over, it's over, it's over
I'm getting dressed in the dark
Our story ends before it begins
I always confess to everyone's sins
The nail gets hammered down
And it's over, let it go

So don't go and make a big deal out of nothing
Well it's just a storm on a dime
And I've always found there's nothing
That money can't buy
I've already gone to the place I'm going
There's no place left to fall
And there's something to be said
For saying nothing at all

And it's over, it's over, it's over
It's done forgotten and through
No one cares what it's all for
You'll be buried in the clothes
That you've never wore
So keep your suitcase by the door
It's over, let it go

No one cares what it's all for
You'll be buried in the clothes
That you never wore
So keep your suitcase by the door
It's over, let it go
You gotta let it go
Let it go, let it go

God, I love Tom Waits. Perfect music for hardboiled detectives and film noir

@MashkaTekoa You poor piece of Nothingness, listen to your ...whatever you're listening to...You don't have to yell...Nobody gives a damn about your opinion anyhow... de gustibus...but you are probably way to inept and I'm waisting my time...

Any min a gun will go off and Tom will slide down the piano playing that cool last chord.

Every time this song starts, I light a cigarette.

Usually I wake up with a random Tom Waits' song on my mind, every morning. But lately it's been the same song for many days in a row. I don't know what happened, this just stuck in my head so much. It makes the morning seem like late evening in a dim, smoky, lonely bar.

This video is absolutely brilliant. I think that Tom should log in and congratulate you!

This song reminds me of Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises, where he's drunk, getting his head down, and the woman's telling him why they can't be together.

Over olması senin eserin.. Neden istediğin bir şeyi yapınca mutsuz rollerine bürünüyorsun.
