2:19 - Tom Waits

I lost everything I had

In the '29 flood

The barn was buried

Beneath a mile of mud

Now I’ve got nothing

But the whistle and the steam

My baby leaving on the 2:19

Now there’s a fellow that’s preaching

About hell and damnation

Bouncing off the walls

In the grand central station

I treated her bad

I treated her mean

My baby leaving on the 2:19

I said hey hey

I don’t know what to do

Hey hey

I will remember you

Hey hey

I don’t know what to do

My baby leaving on the 2:19

Now I’ve always been puzzled

By the yin and the yang

It’ll come out in the wash

But it always leaves a stain

Sturm and drang

The luster and the sheen

My baby leaving on the 2:19

Lost the baby with the water

And the preacher stole the bride

Sent her out for a bottle

But when she came back inside

She didn’t have my whiskey

She didn’t have my gin

With a hat full of feathers

And a wicked grin

I said hey hey

I don’t know what to do

Hey hey

I will remember you

Hey hey

I don’t know what to do

My baby’s leaving on the 2:19

On the train you get smaller

As you get farther away

The roar covers everything

You wanted to say

Was that a raindrop in

The corner of your eye

Were you drying your nails

Or waving goodbye

I said hey hey

I will remember you

Hey hey

I don’t know what to do

Hey hey

I will remember you

My baby leaving on the 2:19

I said hey hey

I don’t know what to do

Hey hey

I will remember you

Hey hey

I don’t know what to do

My baby’s leaving on the 2:19

I said hey hey

I don’t know what to do

Hey hey

I will remember you

Hey hey

I don’t know what to do

My baby leaving on the 2:19
