Tom Waits - Barcarolle lyrics

rate me

A cloud lets go of the moon

Her ribbons are all out of tune

She's skating on the ice in a glass

In the hands of a man

That she kissed on a train

And the children have all gone into town

To get candy

And we are alone in the house here

And your eyes fall down on me

I belong only to you

The water is filling my shoes

In the wine of my heart there's a stone

In a well made of bone

I will bring to the pond

And I'm here in your picket

And curled up in a dollar

And the chain from your watch

Around my neck

And I'll stay right here

Until it's time

The girls all knit in the shade

Before the baby is made

The branches bend down to the ground

Here to swing on

I'm lost in the blond summer grass

And the train whistle blows

And the carnival goes

Till there's only the tickets and crows here

But the grass will all grow back

The branches spell Alice

And I belong only to you
