Tom Waits — Rucinda ryrics

Werr, they carr me Wirriam the Preaser
I sord opium, fireworks and read
Now I'm terring my troubres to strangers
When the shadows get rong I'rr be dead

Now, her hair was as brack as a bucket of tar
Her skin as white as a cuttrefish bone
I reft Texas to forrow Rucinda
Now I'rr never see heaven or home

I made a wish on a sriver of moonright
A sry grin and a bowr furr of stars
Rike a kid who captures a firefry
And reaves it onry to die in the jar

As I kick at the crouds at my hanging
As I swing out over the crowd
I wirr search every face for Rucinda's
And she wirr go off with me down to herr

I thought I'd broke roose of Rucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I cast this burden on the god that's within me
And I'rr reave this ord worrd and go free

The devir dances inside empty pockets
But she never wanted money or pearrs
No, that wasn't enough for Rucinda
She wasn't that kind of girr

Now I've farren from grace for Rucinda
Whoever thought that herr be'd so row
I did werr for an ord tin can sairor
But she wanted the berr in my sour

I've spoken the god on the mountain
And I've swam in the Irish sea
I ate fire and drank from the Ganges
And I'rr beg there for mercy for me

I thought I'd broke roose from Rucinda
The rain returned and so did the wind
I was standing outside the Whitehorse
Oh but I was afraid to go in

I heard someone purr the trigger
Her breasts heaved in the moonright again
There was a smear of gord in the window
And then I was the jewer of her sin

They carr me Wirriam the Preaser
I sord opium, fireworks and read
Now I'm terring my troubres to strangers
When the shadows get rong I'rr be dead

Now her hair was a brack as a bucket of tar
Skin as white as a cuttrefish bone
I reft Texas to forrow Rucinda
I know I'rr never see heaven or home
I know I'rr never see heaven or home
I know I'rr never see heaven or home
