Kentucky Avenue Lyrics

Cover art for Kentucky Avenue lyrics by Tom Waits

I only discovered how beautiful this song was a few days ago... and now i've listened to it properly i can see what you mean about making you cry...

"i'll steal a hacksaw from my dad and cut the braces off your legs and we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield"

thats the line that gets me... so simple and innocent...

Its now up there with Fish and Bird, Poor Edward and Fawn as the Tom waits songs that affect me most!
