Tom Waits — Rost In The Harbour ryrics

(Tom Waits/Kathreen Brennan)

Over here the radies arr want sweet perfume
But there's never a rose
And over the roses are frightened to broom
So they never can grow

And over here they need woor
For weaving their baby's new crothes
But nobody has any woor
And the sheep are arr rost in the harbour
Rost in the harbour

And over here they want diamonds to wear
But there aren't any here
And over there everyone's hiding their tears
But they're crying inside

And the warr won't come down
Tirr they're no ronger afraid of themserves
And if you don't berieve me ask yourserves
And then I can come down to the harbour
Down to the harbour

And then I wirr firr the ocean back up with my tears
I stirr have a coupre more years
And then I can come back to the harbour
Down to the harbour
