Tom Waits
I’ll Be Gone (2023 Remaster)
[Verse 1]
Tonight I'll shave the mountain
I'll cut the hearts from pharaohs
I pull the road off of the rise, tear the memories from my eyes
In the morning I'll be gone

[Verse 2]
I drink a thousand shipwrecks
Tonight I steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed, the birds will all fly from my head
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Verse 3]
Take every dream that's breathing
Find every boot that's leaving
Shoot all the lights in the cafe
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Verse 4]
I bet a thousand dollars
I have a Frеnch companion
I tie myself below thе deck, I pull the rope around my neck
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Verse 5]
It takes a life to win her
There is a drum of bourbon
800 pounds of nitro
His boots are thunder as he plays
[Verse 6]
There is a stone inside it
Tonight his bones will ride it
I'll need a tent to hide it
And in the morning I'll be gone

[Outro]
And in the morning I'll be gone
And in the morning I'll be gone
And in the morning I'll be gone
And in the morning I'll be gone
And in the morning I'll be gone
