It's Over - Tom Waits
Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (2006)
Nr. 12, Disc 2, Bawlers
Lyrics: (www.tomwaits.com)
I must have brought the bad weather with me
the sky's the colour of lead
all you've left me was a feather
on an unmade bed
it's always me whenever there's trouble
the world does nothing but turn
the ring it fell off my finger
I guess I'll never learn
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
it's over let it go
so don't go and make a big deal out of nothing
it's just a storm on a dime
I've always found there's nothing
that money can not buy
I've already gone to the place that I'm going
there's no place left to fall
there's something to be said
about saying nothing at all
cause baby then it's over and it's over
it's done forgotten and through
story ends before it begins
I always confess to everyone's sins
the nail gets hammered down
it's over let it go
you got to let me go
I wanna let it go

@AldaHuxley I've never heard Leonard Cohen sing Tom's stuff but yes, you could be right. It would be different but really interesting. If you know of any recordings, I would be interested in hearing them.

One of the most handsome and stylish men on the planet singing a song that goes straight into my heart. Life is not that bad after all.

His voice is a unique instrument, others can sing his lines but they never give them the colour and the depth that his stretchy, scratchy ache fills in.
