Tom Waits - This One's From The Heart lyrics

rate me

I should go out and honk, it's Independence Day

But instead I just pour myself a drink

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

Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The shadows on the wall look like a railroad track

I wonder if he's ever comin' back

The moon's a yellow stain across the sky

Oh baby, this one's from the heart

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

But I should prob'ly wait here by the phone

And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible

Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The worm is climbin' the avocado tree

Rubbin' its back against the wall

Pour myself a double sympathy

Oh baby, this one's from the heart

Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down

To pound a cold chisel through my heart

But they were nothin' but apostrophes

Oh baby, this one's from the heart

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

But the roads get so slippery when it rains

I love you more than all these words can ever say

Oh baby, this one's from the heart
