Testo Shore Leave - Tom Waits

Testo della canzone Shore Leave (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Beautiful Maladies - The Island Years

Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart

I rolled down the national stroll

And with a big fat paycheck

Strapped to my hip sack

And a shore leave wristwatch underneath

My sleeve

In a hong kong drizzle on cuban heels

I rowed down the gutter to the blood bank

And i'd left all my papers on the ticonderoga

And was in a bad need of a shave

And so i slopped at the corner on cold chow mein

And shot billards with a midget

Until the rain stopped

And i bought a long sleeved shirt

With horses on the front

And some gum and a lighter and a knife

And a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)

And i sat down and wrote a letter to my wife

And i said baby, i'm so far away from home

And i miss my baby so

I can't make it by myself

I love you so

Well i was pacing myself

Trying to make it all last

Squeezing all the life

Out of a lousy two day pass

And i had a cold one at the dragon

With some filipino floor show

And talked baseball with a lieutenant

Over a singapore sling

And i wondered how the same moon outside

Over this chinatown fair

Could look down on illinois

And find you there

And you know i love you baby

And i'm so far away from home

And i miss my baby so

I can't make it by myself

I love you so

Shore leave...
