Back in the Good Old World

Текст песни Tom Waits - Back in the Good Old World

Back in the Good Old World (Gypsy) LyricsWhen I was a boy, the moon was a pearl
The sun a yellow gold
But when I was a man, the wind blew cold
The hills were upside down

But now that I have gone from here
There's no place I'd rather be
Than to float my chances on the tide
Back in the good old world

On October's last I'll fly back home
Rolling down winding way
Scarecrows are all dressed in rags
Out at the edge of the field I lay
And all I've got's a pocketful
Of flowers on my grave
Oh, but summer is gone, I remember it best
Back in the good old world

All I've got's a pocketful
Of flowers on my grave
Oh, but summer is gone and I remember it best
Back in the good world
