    "Long Way Home" by Tom Waits from the album 'Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards'
    Lyrics
    Well I stumbled in the darkness
    I'm lost and alone
    though I said I'd go before us
    and show the way back home
    is there a light up ahead
    I can't hold on very long
    forgive me pretty baby but
    I always take the long way home
    money's just something you throw
    off the back of a train
    I got a head full of lightning
    a hat full of rain
    I know that I said
    I'd never do it again
    I love you pretty baby but
    I always take the long way home
    I put food on the table
    and a roof over our head
    but I'd trade it all tomorrow
    for the highway instead
    watch your back
    keep your eyes shut tight
    your love's the only thing I've ever known
    one thing's for sure pretty baby
    I always take the long way home
    you know I love you baby
    more than the whole wide world
    you are my woman
    you know you are my pearl
    let's go out past the party lights
    where we can finally be alone
    come with me and we can
    take the long way home

    How many bad ass albums does this guy have and it still blows my mind how many people don't know about Tom Waits. He did some of the best interviews with Letterman ever an entertainer in every way.

      His voice and style just isn’t for everybody. I love his music and have since I was a kid, but I can see why he was never mainstream. He just doesn’t make that kinda music.

    Those that take the long way home come back wiser because they made it count - - - real riches for all. Knowledge brings freedom. So let's pay attention that is the long way home.

    Tom Waits, so utterly real - more real han a circle ever can be iround.
    I do not know any other coming even close to this immense originality + beauty + honesty and freedom.
    Tom Waits . . . .keep at it, in these scary days . . . you remind FREEDOM perhaps still exhibit - If we just go and get it, ourselves.

      As a Montreal guy who's *very* partial to Cohen, I have to say that sadly there's no comparison. TW is by far the greater musician with all due respect to Cohen's merits as a lyricist, troubadour, ladies man and Montreal legend.

    Pictures of you are all I have left
    In this rusty old mind, now yours.
    you live there now, like an artist, for free.
    painting pictures of closing doors
    So erase the door darling, come let me in
    In from the street and out of the rain
    Have me sit at your side, have me lay on your bed
    Let’s be lovers at last, again and again.

    Everyone always says where they know a song from, but i think i have a pretty obscure one. I know this song fekm a trailer for a movie I never actually saw called Big Bad Love, which came out in 2001. I probably saw the trialer on a VHS tape.
