Alguna vez posteé esta letra en el extinto blog Schmuck on the Water, pero que importa, es maravillosa. Traten de escuchar a Tom cantando esto en el disco "Alice".
La línea de la ballena en la luna y el pájaro en la marea, siempre me emociona casi hasta lagrimear. Para que aprendan los que dicen que acá somos unos cold-blooded neocons.
Fish and Bird
(Tom Waits)
They bought a round for the sailor
And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale
He said, "you cannot live in the ocean "
And she said to him:
"You never can live in the sky"
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide
Oh, please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the tide
But I'll always pretend you're mine
Though I know we both must part
You can live in my heart
