Tom Waits - 2:19

2:19



I lost everything I had in the ’29 flood

The barn was buried ‘neath a mile of mud

Now, I’ve got nothing but the whistle and the steam

My baby leaving town on the 2:19



Now there’s a fellow that’s preaching ‘bout hell and damnation

Bouncing off the walls in the Grand Central Station

I treated her bad, I treated her mean

My baby leaving town on the 2:19



I said: hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you

Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

My baby leaving town on the 2:19



Now I’ve always been puzzled by the yin and the yang

...?... It’ll come out in the wash, but it always leaves a stain

Sturm and Drang(1), the luster and the sheen

My baby leaving town on the 2:19



Lost the baby with the water(2), and the preacher stole the bride

Sent her out for a bottle, but when she came back inside

She didn’t have my whiskey, she didn’t have my gin(3)

With a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin(4)



Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you

Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

My baby’s leaving town on the 2:19



On the train you get smaller, as you get farther away

The roar covers everything you wanted to say

Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye?

Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?



I said: hey, hey, I will remember you

Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you

My baby’s leaving town on the 2:19



I said: Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you

Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

My baby’s leaving town on the 2:19

I said: Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you

Hey, hey, I don’t know what to do

My baby’s leaving town on the 2:19

I said: Hey.
