Tom Waits - Never Let Go Lyrics
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axeFall down on your knees in the dirtI'm tied to the mast between water and windBelieve me, you'll never get hurtOur ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the holeDown at the Five Points(1) I standI'll lose everythingBut I won't let go of your handWell, Peter denied and Judas betrayedI'll bail with the roll of the drumAnd the wind will tell the turn from the wheelAnd the watchman is making his roundsWell, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teethI've only got one leg to standYou can send me to hellBut I'll never let go of your handSwing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?)Signed with One Eyed Jack's bloodFrom Temple to Union, to LA and GrandWalking back home in the mud(2)Now I must make my best of the only way homeMolly deals only in stoneI'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyesJust give me a couple more throwsI'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knightDare me to jump and I willI'll fall from your graceBut I'll never let go of your handI'll never let go of your hand
