Tom Waits - Lost In The Harbour lyrics

rate me

Over here the ladies

All want sweet perfume

But there's never a rose

And over there

The roses are frightened to bloom

So they never can grow

And over here they need wool

For weaving baby's new clothes

But nobody has any wool

And the sheep are all lost

In the harbour

And over here

They want diamonds to wear

But there aren't any here

And over there

Everyone's hiding their tears

But they're crying inside

And the wall won't come down

Til they're no longer afraid of themselves

If you don't believe me ask yourselves

And then I can come down

To the harbour

Down to the harbour

And then I will fill the ocean

Back up with my tears

I still have a couple more years

And then I can come back

To the harbour

Down to the harbour
