Barcarolle Lyrics & Chords By Tom Waits

A cloud lets go of the moon
Her ribbons are all out of tune

She's skating on the ice in a glass
In the hands of a man
That she kissed on the train
And the children have all gone into town
To get candy
And we are alone in the house here
And your eyes fall down on me

I belong only to you
The water is filling my shoes

In the wine of my heart
There's a stone in a well made of bone
That you bring to the pond
And I'm here in your pocket
Curled up in a dollar
And the chain from your watch
Around my neck
And I'll stay right here until it's time

The girls all knit in the shade
Before the baby is made

And the branches bend down
To the ground here to swing on
I'm lost in the blond summer grass
And the train whistle blows
And the carnival goes
Till there's only the tickets and crows here
And the grass will all grow back

The branches spell Alice
And I belong only to you
