Easily my favourite song off Orphans - its simplicity is intrinsic to its beauty, and for me it's a toss up between this song, Martha, and Kentucky Ave as my favourite Tom Waits' songs. I have been listening to him (not always by choice, but never forcced) since 1975 with Closing Time - first taped one of his albums (Heart Attack & Vine) in 1983 - I think I still have that tape somewhere, along with Small Change and Closing Time... and I am slowly growing my "legit" digital collection of his works...
