tom waits – never let go lyrics
(tom waits and kathleen brennan)
well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe
fall down on your knees in the dirt
i’m tied to the mast between water and wind
believe me, you’ll never get hurt
our ring’s in the p-wnshop, the rain’s in the hole
down at the five points(1) i stand
i’ll lose everything
but i won’t let go of your hand
well, peter denied and judas betrayed
i’ll bail with the roll of the drum
and the wind will tell the turn from the wheel
and the watchman is making his rounds
well, you’ll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth
i’ve only got one leg to stand
you can send me to h-ll
but i’ll never let go of your hand
swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?)
signed with one eyed jack’s blood
from temple to union, to la and grand
walking back home in the mud(2)
now i must make my best of the only way home
molly deals only in stone
i’m lost on the midway, i’m reckless in your eyes
just give me a couple more throws
i’ll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight
dare me to jump and i will
i’ll fall from your grace
but i’ll never let go of your hand
i’ll never let go of your hand
