tom waits - blue valentines lyrics

Loading...

she sends me blue valentines all the way from philadelphia
to mark the anniversary of someone that i used to be
and it feels like a warrant is out for my arrest
baby you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
thats why i’m always on the run it’s why i changed my name
and i didn’t think you’d ever find me here

to send me blue valentines like half forgotten dreams
like a pebble in my shoe as i walk these streets
and the ghost of your memory baby its the thistle in the kiss
its the burglar that can break a rose’s neck
its the tatooed broken promise i gotta hide beneath my sleeve
i’m gonna see you every time i turn my back

oh you send me blue valentines though i try to remain at large
they’re insisting that our love must have a eulogy
why do i save all this madness here in the nightstand drawer
there to haunt upon my shoulders
baby i know i’d be luckier to walk around everywhere i go
with this blind and broken heart
that sleeps beneath my lapel

instead these blue valentines to remind me of my cardinal sin
i can never wash the guilt or get these bloodstains off my hands
and it takes a whole lot of whiskey to make these nightmares go away
and i cut my bleedin heart out every night and i’m gonna die just a little more
on each st. valentine’s day
don’t you remember i promised i would write you

these blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines
