Tom Waits - Hang Down Your Head Lyrics






Hush a wild violet
Hush a band of gold
Hush you're in a story
I heard somebody told

Tear the promise from my heart
Tear my heart today
You have found another
Baby I must go away

Hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head Marie

Hush my love the rain now
Hush my love was so true
Hush my love a train now
But it takes me away from you

Hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head Marie

    Hush, a wild violet, hush, a band of gold
    Hush, you're in a story I heard somebody told
    Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
    You have found another, oh baby, I must go away

    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie

    Hush, my love, the rain now, hush, my love was so true
    Hush, my love, a train now, well, it takes me away from you

    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie

    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    And hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie

    Hush a wild violet
Hush a band of gold
Hush you're in a story
I heard somebody told

Tear the promise from my heart
Tear my heart today

Hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow
Hang down your head Marie

Hush my love the rain now
Hush my love was so true
Hush my love a train now
But it takes me away from you

Hang down your head for sorrow
Hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head
Hang down your head Marie

    Anders Petersen take this picture in Hamburg, Cafe Nimitz if I recall and I had the fortune to meet him in photography school 1981 for two days

    U.... H....

    For many years I thought this was staged photo of Tom, intended to show his vulnerability. I loved it. Never noticed the photo credit in very small type on the back. About 12 years ago I went to a photography exhibition at the Barbican Centre, the theme was urban life. I found this photograph in a corner of a large room, among many more from Anders Petersen 's time in Hamburg. I shrieked aloud to my friend, 'It's Tom Waits!' A bloke nearby heard me and joined us - he was a Tom admirer and we talked about Rain Dogs and marvelled at the likeness. Ever since, whenever people talk about The Perfect Album Cover I tell this story. Love that Tom. xxx

  17. R.... W....

    What did he say?

  18. c.... ....

    Plan to listen to Tom Waits, am instead confronted with an advert for Drum'n'Bass abominations I can do nothing but fault.
    Is there no justice in the music world?

    Trudging through shit all damn day to get to something good.

  19. c.... s....
