Song by Tom Waits, Crystal Gayle<br /><br>

Tom: <br>

I should go out and honk the horn, it's Independence Day<br>

But instead I just pour myself a drink<br>

It's got to be love, I've never felt this way<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>

Crystal:<br>

The shadows on the wall look like a railroad track<br>

I wonder if he's ever comin' back<br>

The moon's a yellow stain across the sky<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Maybe I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form<br>

But I should prob'ly wait here by the phone<br>

And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>

Crystal:<br>

The worm is climbin' the avocado tree<br>

Rubbin' its back against the wall<br>

I pour myself a double sympathy<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down<br>

To pound a cold chisel through my heart.<br>

But they were nothin' but apostrophes<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>

Crystal:<br>

I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone?<br>

But the roads get so slippery when it rains<br>

I love you more than all these words can ever say<br>

Oh baby, this one's from the heart<br>

<br>
