Tom Waits - "Fish And Bird" (Live)

"Fish And Bird" (Live) by ‪@tomwaits‬ from the album 'Alice'
Lyrics
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
And there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide
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 that we both must part
You can live in my heart

Whenever this melody rings true.
It suspends, there.
For here. For you.
