Tom Waits - Green Grass Lyrics
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
The weather vane will say...
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Bukowski brought me here.
I think he is speaking poetically to a tree stump.
Bila şîroveyeke Kurdî jî li vir hebe. Ev hesabê youtubeyê ne yê min e lê ez ê dîsa jî binivîsim. Navê min Egîd e.Ez bavê du zaroka me û gelek ji wan hez dikim. Xelk vê stranê bi hestên evînî guhdarî dike lê ez dema guhdarî dikim xeyalên aramiye dikim li gel Rênas û Nûda Viyan. Heyat têra xwe ecêp e.
So good with words.
I remember
2019,still i listen

"Ve şu çok paradoksal: Bir Tom Waits şarkısı duyduğunuzda onu derhal tanırsınız, sesini tanırsınız, kelimelerini tanırsınız. Ama onu derhal tanımanıza rağmen o kendi benliğini silmekle meşguldür."
John Berger
First time listening. This song is a mood.
U never be free of me . You make dream of me😪🙄
Bir gün yorumları ''Halef'ten geldik'' cümleleri dolup taşıracak, o günü bekliyorum, sessizce ve gecemde bu şarkıyla.
I can smell the bourbon on his breath
Getting a real Quentin Tarantino vibe from this one
I'm struggling to stay alive right now, and every time I have severe suicidal thoughts, this is the song I turn to.
Can't die, pussy if you kill yourself, try, i'm a clinical depresive person... i try it 17 times now, it's not our fault, we don't have to die, even when looks like the greatest exit.
@Leon Eduardo Gonzalez still here with us? keep holding on my friend
I'm all broken to pieces... I can't...
Some songs realy need over 10 seconds of silence at the end to let all of what you just heard sink into your mind, body, & soul.
Tom Waits - Louis Armstrong - Chavela Vargas
I didn't know that a humans voice can go so low
Im sitting in my balcony all alone , with 2 extra strong beers. Thinking if i'll ever find love again.I guess not given how things are right now, but hey maybe one day , who knows?
I didnt know this was a song from the great Tom. I first listened to Cibelle´s beautiful version and now im just happy cause its also a Tom´s song.
Things are now made of me
excelentes temas para beber
no way!. oooooh.about memory and not getting away!. There is not one artist I support who is more equal. why we love him.
I never knew this was about abuse...holy fuck
Stacey Friedrich. How is this about abuse ?
i dont think this is a good song text. i listen to "real gone" about four times a day, i think its fair to say im going through a phase, and they are all stellar lyrics, but this one isnt. imo, you understand.
I almost shed a tear to this...it sounds so sorrowful and full of longing....a beautiful heartbreak.
Dayı naptın be böyle bi ses yok
I used to think that its the drink that makes me cry to this. Whelp, tonight i am sober...
remember when you loved me
ruhum dinleniyor hissediyorum
Batman wishes he was Tom
love this whole album. this and mule.
Damn, Tom. You dark
How can this exist is in the corporeal world?
Je vais encore fumer quelques cigarettes.
açtım, aslında denk geldi, sustum ve çaldı. bilmiyordum nasıl tesir eder.ama yaralardı en azından.
günler sonra, denildi ki "dinlemediğim şarkı kalmadı, o gün dinlediğim şarkı neydi, kimdi?"
biliyordum ateşin yalazlanması gibi, o tarafı da tutuşturması. tutuşmuştu artık. yansın o da anasını satayım....
woke up in a middle of a dream. i knew it was a dream because u were there. i smoked a morning spliff in the hopes i'd calm down, and had coffee, but i didn't take my first breath until i threw this waits blanket over my shoulders. chemicals unleashed, rushing through.
I’m new to this I love it
Sesinde ne var be adam
Great song! You can check out the cover we did : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJBSt9VXGk
We're a band from France, the "Collectif Acoustique Brestois", only playing acoustically, meaning without any amplification,
Thank you Tom Waits for writing this song.
"never more quote the raven" His uinverse makes me feel like in an Edgar Allan Poe's story.
He sounds like an absolute chain smoker for like 200 years. I get some of the charm and the talent and the quirkiness but I’m convinced a lot of his fans are just pretentious twats.
besides the music its clearly perfect emotions to read the comments below
lanet olası insanlar sadece beni sevsin istemiştim . , . , .
His voice gravels on,
the wine ends with a Waits song,
left with only tears.
"Can't tell the birds from the blossoms" can someone explain me what does this sentence means? I'm french and I try to translate this song. Thanks.
Tony ToneR it means god can not forbid the woman to look for another men. Birds=women blossoms= men
KING TOM WAITSWASTED NO TIME in HIS PRECIOUS LIFE ON EARTH !

Think of me as a train goes by!Τι άλλο να γράψεις?
Really gone.
Too my love!!! Who died!! You will always be close to my heart!! I will always cry and remember you when im breaking down on the green grass in the cemetery.
woww!!
You'll never be free of me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or did Ophelia sing something along these lines? Green grass, dead and gone?
he's even a great whistler.
This man's songs are all that's keeping me... from walking to the nearest railroad, laying my head on the tracks, waiting for the train.
Just go on, keep listening, man, so much music around you, so much more to listen to... Don't fail on it.
Notice the dark aspect to this love song? I love it.
consoler of all inconsolable
WOW!! VICERAL
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
and it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say:
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
we'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
adam kusuyor gibi söylüyor ve kusmayı böyle güzelleştiren biri daha yok amk
Tom waits has a voice that sounds like it's been soaked in bourbon. That's the best Ive been able to describe it.
Well done
Soaked in bourban left in a smoke house for 2 weeks then taken outside and ran over by a car.
Waits' voice sounds more like he gargles with Drano every morning.
@Faustus It wouldn't be a stretch to say he did O.o
I recently heard it described as as like he drinks Gasoline and smokes car tires.
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say...
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Leyla ile mecnun dan gelenler
Makes dreams seem real
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
and it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say:
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
we'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Ignacio Zavaleta Thanks! 🙏🏻
Mr. Tom Waits.......The greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tom ♥
This song is a combination of *All the World is Green* and *No One Knows I'm Gone*, and it kills both of them. I noticed that it has over a million views; was it in a movie or something? Because it wasn't even a single off this album. So if there wasn't some other media source directing people here, then that's amazing, and it just shows how great this song is. *The Noose* from A Perfect Circle's *13th Step* is a good example of a song being so good that it gets a ton of views without being the single.
Dayının boğazda balgam var bi atsa rahatlıcakta
I love how I found his music through shrek 2
This song came to my mind when i watched the ending of Samurai Jack. So sad :(
Φίλος είσαι και ας μη με ξέρεις, δηλαδή φίλος
If God ever did speak....
Ne çabuk uyudunuz!!!!!??
FODA MATINAL, CLIMA TROPICAL
This song was also in the movie where Tim Robbins works on an oil rig in Norway with Sarah Polley. Everyone loves TW.
This song was in the French movie the diving bell and the butterfly.
Rivi♥
Diving bell and the butterfly great movie
