Tom Waits — Take It with Me

Phone's off the hook, no one knows where we are It's a long time since I drank champagne The ocean is blue as blue as your eyes I'm gonna take it with me when I go Old long since gone, now way back when We lived in Coney Island There ain't no good thing ever dies I'm gonna take it with me when I go Far far away a train whistle blows Wherever you're goin', wherever you've been Waving goodbye at the end of the day You're up and you're over and you're far away Always for you and forever yours It felt just like the old days We fell asleep on Beulah's porch I'm gonna take it with me when I go All broken-down by the side of the road I was never more alive or alone I've worn the faces off all the cards I'm gonna take it with me when I go Children are playing at the end of the day Strangers are singing on our lawn It's got to be more than flesh and bone All that you've loved is all you own In a land, there's a town And in that town, there's a house And in that house, there's a woman And in that woman, there's a heart I love I'm gonna take it with me when I go I'm gonna take it with me when I go
