Blue Skies - Lyrics

Blue Skies
(Tom Waits 1971)
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies as there shining in my face
Gonna give me another woman to take her place

Ain't got no money, the cupboards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
And now the only sound left is a kind of sweet morning bird

singing, blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies as there shining in my face
Gonna give me another woman to take her place

That woman stuck by me through thick and through thin
I was cold and hungry well she smiled at me
But she wanted those fine things, those nights on the town
It looks to me like she let me down

Blue skies over my head
Gotta give me another reason to get out of bed
Blue skies as there shining in my face
Gotta give me another woman to take her place
Gotta give me another woman to take her place
