Tom Waits - Walk Away (lyrics)

E porque te amo?

Porque os teus olhos sabem o que sinto
Porque a tua voz acalma os meus medos
Porque o teu abraço me enche de força
Porque o teu beijo acorda o meu fogo
Porque SIM, simplesmente.

E desta canção, de um dos melhores songwriters de todos os tempos, a minha frase de eleição, embora me tenha sido difícil escolhê-la de um poema, que para mim, é perfeito:

"There are things I've done I can't erase
I want to look in the mirror, see another face"


Tom Waits - Walk Away
(lyrics)

Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
She need a way to turn around the bend
She said: I want to walk away and start over again

There are things I've done I can't erase
I want to look in the mirror see another face
I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away, start over again

No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond

There's a winner in every place
There's a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
When it's time to walk away and start over again

Weather's murder at a hundred and three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You wanna walk away and start over again

No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond

Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I want to walk away, start over again

I left my bible by the side of the road
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again

Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away Partilhar
