From the album closing time with very nice sounding Waits vocals. I love Tom's voice on every album as it suits the lyrics as does his voice on this very beautiful album. The lyrics are not as complex as later in his career but a great album all the same that regularly gets played in my house. After a Work Xmas party I came home, lit a Cuban cigar and listened to this album, both sides and for the first time in a long time I felt love for a girl from work who was in a relationship with another guy at the time. This song really hit home like never before. She not long after left her guy and I was also recently single. We were both in pretty soul destroying relationships and to cut a long story short we are now together with a 9 month year old gift from God. This song and album will always have a special place in my heart as I really didn't want to fall in love with her as she was taken but it was obviously meant to be and I'm as happy as Iv ever been. Tom- come to Aus again, I'm dying to see u live!!
