Tom Waits - Fish & Bird Lyrics

Font:

Align:

They bought a round for the sailor

And they heard his tale

Of a world that was so far away

And a song that we'd never heard

A song of a little bird

That fell in love with a whale

He said: you cannot live in the ocean

And she said to him:

You never can live in the sky

But the ocean is filled with tears

And the sea turns into a mirror

There's a whale in the moon when it's clear

And a bird on the tide

Oh, please don't cry

Let me dry your eyes

So tell me that you will wait for me

Hold me in your arms

I promise we never will part

I'll never sail back to the time

But I'll always pretend you're mine

Though I know we both must part

You can live in my heart
