Warren Zevon — Tule’s Blues Remastered

[Verse 1] Oh, Tule, it's on account of you that I've been weeping Here behind my hand And it's lonesome in my heart's land As the sands of the desert [Verse 2] Oh, tell me, why was it always you who threw the changes You who always sang And played while the green vespers rang In the heart of the hillside? [Chorus] It's a sad song and we always seem to be singing it to each other You and me, sweet and slightly out of key Like the sound of a running down calliope [Verse 3] Oh, Tule, now wasn't I once I was your knight in golden armor With the sun behind my hair And my music filled the air With cymbals and lightning? [Verse 4] Oh, truly, now can't you see I'm changing like the seasons? My hair is growing dark And there's no room left in the ark For a lark with a broken wing [Chorus] It's a sad song and we always seem to be singing it to each other You and me, sweet and slightly out of key Like the sound of a running down calliope [Verse 5] Oh, Tule, it's on account of you that I'll be leaving 'Cross the deep salt sea And whatever wild worlds I may see Will be empty without you [Chorus] It's a sad song and we always seem to be singing it to each other And a child's voice, tender and out of tune Does he ask if I'll be coming home soon? Does he ask if I'll be coming home soon?
