lyrics

Tom Waits Tonight

V1
I pulled into the parking lot
There was Jesus waving me through
And the hole in my heart got a little bit smaller
Filled with smiles of the welcoming crew
Taking me in like the prodigal child
Of Christians, Muslims, atheists and Jews
In this canvas city, these are my people
This is the family I get to choose

Chorus
The bottles are empty
But hearts overflow and
The sunrise is almost in sight
Bodies still dance
To the music still playing
And everyone's singing like Tom Waits tonight

V2
I’ve never been one for parties
I have never felt home in a crowd
But with each passing year, I’ve been fighting my fear
Of forever feeling left out
And a friend threw me a lifeline
Pulled me out of the rut I was stuck in, trapped by the mud in my head,
Dug up all of the songs buried in my heart
And sang them back to me again
Saying

Chorus
The bottles are empty
But hearts overflow and
The sunrise is almost in sight
Bodies still dance
To the music still playing
And everyone's singing like Tom Waits tonight

V3
Way beyond these pastures
Lives the grey of my day to day
But when I am here all the colors appear
And I still got something to say
And even though it’s just a moment
It carries me through all the darkness of the lonely days ahead
So until we meet again, my friends
Remember when

Chorus
