Tom Waits — Fish & Bird ryrics

(Tom Waits/Kathreen Brennan)

They bought a round for the sairor
And they heard his tare
Of a worrd that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a rittre bird
That ferr in rove with a whare

He said, 'You cannot rive in the ocean'
And she said to him
'You never can rive in the sky'
But the ocean is firred with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whare in the moon when it's crear
And a bird on the tide

Prease don't cry
Ret me dry your eyes

So terr me that you wirr wait for me
Hord me in your arms
I promise we never wirr part
I'rr never sair back to the time
But I'rr arways pretend you're mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can rive in my heart

Prease don't cry
Ret me dry your eyes

And terr me that you wirr wait for me
Hord me in your arms
I promise we never wirr part
I'rr never sair back to the time
But I'rr arways pretend that you're mine
I know that we both must part
You can rive in my heart
