Rainbow sleeves - Ricky Lee Jones (written by Tom Waits)
Lyrics:
You used to dream yourself away each night
To places that you'd never been
On wings made of wishes
That you whispered to yourself
Back when every night the moon and you
Would sweep away to places
That you knew
Where you would never get the blues
Well now, whiskey gives you wings
To carry
Each one of your dreams
And the moon does not belong to you
But I believe
That your heart keeps young dreams
Well, I've been told
To keep from ever growing old
And a heart that has been broken
Will be stronger when it mends
Don't let the blues stop you singing
Darling, you've only got a broken wing
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves

I have always loved this song since I first heard Tom Waits do it live. This version is so soulful and spirit-filled it transports me every time I listen to it. It's in the exact same soulful universe that "Company" and "After Hours" is in. I live there every night.10 years ago

Quando la poesia suona meravigliosamente bene, può volare di bocca in bocca, da pensiero in pensiero, avrà in sé note sempre ugualmente e meravigliosamente intonate. Non a caso il testo di Tom Waits cantato dalla splendida Rickie Lee Jones:Rainbow sleeves (written by Tom Waits)You used to dream yourself away each nightTo places that you'd never beenOn wings made of wishesThat you whispered to yourselfBack when every night the moon and youWould sweep away to placesThat you knewWhere you would never get the bluesWell now, whiskey gives you wingsTo carryEach one of your dreamsAnd the moon does not belong to youBut I believeThat your heart keeps young dreamsWell, I've been toldTo keep from ever growing oldAnd a heart that has been brokenWill be stronger when it mendsDon't let the blues stop you singingDarling, you've only got a broken wingHey, you just hang on to my rainbowHang on to my rainbowHang on to my rainbow sleevesRelated Videos
