Take It With Me - Tom Waits

Phone’s off the hook

No one knows where we are

It’s a long time since I drank champagne

The ocean is blue as blue as your eyes

I’m gonna take it with me when I go

Old long since gone

Now way back when

We lived in Coney Island

Ain’t no good thing ever dies

I’m gonna take it with me when I go

Far far away a train

Whistle blows

Wherever you’re goin

Wherever you’ve been

Waving good bye at the end of the day

You’re up and you’re over and you’re far away

Always for you, and forever yours

It felt just like the old days

We fell asleep on Beaula’s porch

I’m gonna take it with me when I go

All broken down by the side of the road

I was never more alive or alone

I’ve worn the faces off all the cards

I’m gonna take it with me when I go

Children are playing at the end of the day

Strangers are singing on our lawn

It’s got to be more than flesh and bone

All that you’ve loved is all you own

In a land there’s a town

And in that town there’s a house

And in that house there’s a woman

And in that woman there’s a heart I love

I’m gonna take it with me when I go

I’m gonna take it with me when I go
