Tom Waits - Shore Leave слова песни
Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heartI rolled down the national strolland with a big fat paycheckstrapped to my hip sackand a shore leave wristwatch underneathmy sleevein a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heelsI rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bankand I`d left all my papers on the Ticonderogaand was in a bad need of a shaveand so I slopped at the corner on cold chow meinand shot billards with a midgetuntil the rain stoppedand I bought a long sleeved shirtwith horses on the frontand some gum and a lighter and a knifeand a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)and I sat down and wrote a letter to my wifeand I said Baby, I`m so far away from homeand I miss my Baby soI can`t make it by myselfI love you soWell I was pacing myselftrying to make it all lastsqueezing all the lifeout of a lousy two day passand I had a cold one at the Dragonwith some Filipino floor showand talked baseball with a lieutenantover a Singapore slingand I wondered how the same moon outsideover this Chinatown faircould look down on Illinoisand find you thereand you know I love you Babyand I`m so far away from homeand I miss my Baby soI can`t make it by myselfI love you soShore Leave...Shore Leave...
