Album: Mule Variations (1999)

  • The phone's off the hook, no one knows where we are
    It's a long time since I drank champagne
    The ocean's blue, as blue as your eyes
    I'm gonna take it with me when I go

    Old long since gone, now way back when
    We lived in Coney Island
    There ain't no good thing ever dies
    I'm gonna take it with me when I go

    Far, far away a train whistle blows
    Wherever you're goin', wherever you've been
    Waving goodbye at the end of the day
    You're up and you're over, and you're far away

    Always for you, and forever yours
    It felt just like the old days
    We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
    I'm gonna take it with me when I go

    All broken down by the side of the road
    I's never more alive or alone
    I've worn the faces off all the cards
    I'm gonna take it with me when I go

    The children are playing at the end of the day
    Strangers are singing on our lawn
    It's got to be more than flesh and bone
    All that you've loved is all you own

    In a land there's a town, and in that town there's a house
    And in that house there's a woman
    And in that woman there's a heart I love
    I'm gonna take it with me when I go

    I'm gonna take it with me when I go Writer/s: Kathleen Brennan, Thomas Alan Waits
