LYRICS
Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
and from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
wearing a sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
that rose in strangled ebony curls
moving in a yellow Bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
and the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading
as it soaks the black summer heat
a light goes on and a door opens
and yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light
and into the yard
a wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
you wear two lavender orchids
one in your hair and one on your hip
a string of yellow carnival lights
comes on with the dusk
circling the lake in a slowly dipping halo
and I hear a Banjo tango
and you dance into the shadow of a Black Poplar Tree
I watch you as you disappear
I watch you as you disappear
I watch you as you disappear

[@oopolo1454]

Last night, I dreamed that I was dreaming of a new Tom Waits album

[@snowstrobe]

And tour!

[@jwhines2]

Tom is socially distancing himself. 😆

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

The yellow light and inky darkness beckons me as I move on pleasantly haunted by the memory of a champagne laugh . What a way to start my day. Thanks Mr Waits.

[@lenorelovinne]

I love the poetry in it, delivered in a rusty voice 🖤🦋

[@pamelamorrison4086]

Aaw, aye - just what the doctor ordered Thank you

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Tom's two albums of music for Robert Wilson's plays, Woyzeck & Alice, were my introduction to his music... will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@MyCheriAnolani]

❤️You So Much Tom

Biggest fan EVER!!! don't want to imagine the world without u in it xxx

[@chuckrock9321]

Nice.

[@barrygray4858]

I love music. I am drawn towards folk and rap mainly. Tom Waits makes me proud to be alive during his reign, however. He makes me proud that I lived during the greatness.

[@bobflagle5372]

We used to play "Small Change "on our 8 track and let play over and over. Thanks Tom

Beautiful poetry, mysterious.

[@SportyOtterPop]

Been teetering over the pit of despair, and such a beautiful new Tom Waits video does help soothe my soul

[@markisskajellafetti]

What a rush to have this pop up as i'm setting here. Thanks Tom. Nicely done.

[@gravlaxbob355]

Just awesome. Such a dance performance! And Tom singing onto it. Only for that I would still live.

[@lisaswift9122]

Great ballet perfection with song

[@darkmadder9897]

240p, Tom?! Impressive.

[@marcovernice304]

I love him, his poetry, his music. Fantastic, terrific.

[@hobomooncartoons]

Man! Got my hopes up for a moment there. I thought this was a new song. And then I was like, "Oh, wait..."

[@OZBIE]

I have all your albums, saw you live at Convication Hall in Toronto in '79, you're a treasure.

[@charlottes.5]

This is so beautiful, thank you!❤😢

[@philtullos3823]

Love it

[@strangersname]

Beautiful song-poem from one of my favorite Waits' albums, an unsung one if you will, filled with some of Waits and Brennan's best lyrics. Thanks Tom.

[@steveconti3966]

Thank you for giving me such a wonderful soundtrack within my life .

[@javi9038]

¡¡Genial!!. Conoci a Tom gracias a una pelicula ''El tigre y la nieve'' ya hace como 15 años.

Loving me some Tom Waits!☆ Makes my day! Thank you for this ❤

[@nissi.k]

Amazing I love this and no video required! It’s a good video but only audio with closed eyes listening for mesmerizing depiction; rendered through the art of word and sound! 🙌🌹

[@YeLLGoYeLLGo]

Deine Stimme ist Crazy und einzigartig 👌🎧💚🤍❤️Tanti Salute 🤟🏻😎

[@lleooneiro]

Venus Lilith Mars together in Leo🙏 to have Tom Waits narrate this moment 💎

[@wolffwerz]

❤😮😊

[@glasscrafter669]

Tom you are a gypsy poet. I love your work. I am a RAIN DOG TOO!

[@elhorrendo7026]

I must add my awe at his poetry. Especially the romanticism of his description of women, presnting film noir imagery with spalshes of colour. This song and Burma Shave; My favourite lyric in the following being, "She took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like root beer". Her hair spilled out like root beer... So beautiful and simple and Americana... Perfect. And with her knees up on the glove compartment She took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like root beer And she popped her gum and arched her back Hell, Marysville ain't nothing but a wide spot in the road Some nights my heart pounds like thunder Don't know why it don't explode 'Cause everyone in this stinking town's got one foot in the grave And I'd rather take my chances out in Burma Shave.

[@ghislaingilberti6504]

Oh God (*Tom Waits), May a new album coming ? I hope it so !!!
