I love Leonard Cohen, and I love Nick Cave, because of their style, their originality. But I must say, Tom Waits is the King of the Mountain. Hes a once in a lifetime treasure, a wonderful journey into his world. I thank God I ve had the pleasure of the gift hes given us all. Thank you Tom Waits and your beautiful wife.
Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung I've been putting it off for a while, Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. And every time that I tried to tell you that we'd lost the magic we had at the start, I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes And I searched once again for the spark. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Oh you know that there's something calling me dear and…

Just found Tom Waits!! My life has just gotten better!! The hole in my heart of missing music has been filled!!!!!
I'd say Tom Waits is an national treasure... but I don't want to be greedy. He's a treasure no matter where you're from. Thanks Tom... for everything.
Seeing him on SNL back in the Seventies was truly a mind blowing experience. One of the greatest songwriters anywhere, ever.
At 55 years old I can now honestly say I have me a favourite song.
The Early years vol.2 is my favorite album of all time...i learned playing guitar just because of Mr.Waits...long live tom waits
Grande! Intramontabile.Lo adoravo allora, mi commuove anche oggi
I just found Tom Waits as well .I mean I knew of him but not the music . He is my hero 😊😊
A wonderful rendition. I fell in love with the Closing Time version yet this is remarkable in itself.
Gosh, I just love his voice. I don't know...it's like when Tom sings, I want to believe whatever he says.
Raw, heartfelt, that's all I got. Makes my heart heavier.
One of my all time favs...
what a song.
i answered my own question : from the Early Years Vol 2
thanks for posting, this is absolutely Magnificent ! : )
Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung
I've been putting it off for a while,
Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear
That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile.
So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

that we'd lost the magic we had at the start,
I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes
And I searched once again for the spark.

And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes

It's still hard to take in how different he used to sound.
grandioso!!!
how does someone become this good
Beautiful! =)
naw...we know we love the ones that sing to our heart...yet tom...he writes and he sings..so therefore it is his alone...yet he moves us...ay?
I love my old shoes...
i think this is the beatest song i've heard
LOL, Right Ada.
Toll!
genio
being GOD!!!
Anybody think he looks like John C Riley in the second picture ? haha Tom Waits is a beauty
You're right he is definitely one of the greatest, but in my humble opinion both Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave are even worthier contestants (:
What album is this from? I've only heard the one from Closing Time before.
*sigh* I used to be a girl with the sun in my eyes
+rebelcake I can see you shining darlin.
Me too
Then you got the operation?
and I used to be the boy with the key to all joy.
2 dislikes from Beavis and Butthead
wag the dog ^^
where can i find this version ?
snoke Black Water OG
Beavis and Butthead are actually quite fond of Mr. Waits.
@aboo12195 don't we all?
No, he does not look like John C Riley. LOL! But maybe you might think that, because it has something to do with their partwise irish ancestry?!
What a joke. Thanks I feel less guilty.
