Strange Weather lyrics

Song information

Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Big Time

Lyrics

(Tom waits for marianne faithful)
Will you take me across the channel
London bridge is falling down
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown
And he's the rain that they predicted
Its the forecast every time
The rose has died because you picked it
And I believe that brandy's mine

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same

The world is getting flatter
The sky is falling all around
And nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear

Is best measured when its down
And I never buy umbrellas
For there's always one around

And all over the world strangers talk only about the weather. all over the world it's the same
It's the same
It's the same

And you know that its beginning
And you know that its the end
When once again we are strangers
And the fog comes rolling in

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same
