Shore Leave - Tom Waits[00:00:05]
Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart[00:00:33]
I rolled down the national stroll[00:00:39]
And with a big fat paycheck[00:00:41]
Strapped to my hip sack[00:00:42]
And a shore leave wristwatch underneath[00:00:45]
My sleeve[00:00:46]
In a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels[00:00:49]
I rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bank[00:00:53]
And I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga[00:00:58]
And was in a bad need of a shave[00:01:03]
And so I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein[00:01:08]
And shot billards with a midget[00:01:11]
Until the rain stopped[00:01:12]
And I bought a long sleeved shirt[00:01:16]
With horses on the front[00:01:18]
And some gum and a lighter and a knife[00:01:20]
And a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)[00:01:22]
And I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife[00:01:26]
And I said Baby I'm so far away from home[00:01:31]
And I miss my Baby so[00:01:39]
I can't make it by myself[00:01:45]
I love you so[00:01:49]
Well I was pacing myself[00:01:56]
Trying to make it all last[00:01:58]
Squeezing all the life[00:02:01]
Out of a lousy two day pass[00:02:02]
And I had a cold one at the Dragon[00:02:05]
With some Filipino floor show[00:02:08]
And talked baseball with a lieutenant[00:02:10]
Over a Singapore sling[00:02:12]
And I wondered how the same moon outside[00:02:15]
Over this Chinatown fair[00:02:17]
Could look down on Illinois[00:02:20]
And find you there[00:02:22]
And you know I love you Baby[00:02:25]
And I'm so far away from home[00:02:28]
And I miss my Baby so[00:02:30]
I can't make it by myself[00:02:40]
I love you so[00:02:45]
