Tom Waits - It's Over Lyrics






You must have brought the bad weather with you
The sky's the colour of lead
All you've left me is a feather
On an unmade bed

It's always me whenever there's trouble
The world does nothing but turn
And the ring it fell off my finger
I guess I'll never learn

But it's over, it's over, it's over
I'm getting dressed in the dark
Our story ends before it begins
I always confess to everyone's sins
The nail gets hammered down
And it's over, let it go

So don't go and make a big deal out of nothing
Well it's just a storm on a dime
And I've always found there's nothing
That money can't buy
I've already gone to the place I'm going
There's no place left to fall
And there's something to be said
For saying nothing at all

And it's over, it's over, it's over
It's done forgotten and through
No one cares what it's all for
You'll be buried in the clothes
That you've never wore
So keep your suitcase by the door
It's over, let it go

No one cares what it's all for
You'll be buried in the clothes
That you never wore
So keep your suitcase by the door
It's over, let it go
You gotta let it go
Let it go, let it go

    Tom Waits + The Big Sleep = 💘💘💘

  2. M.... M....

    This song was also in the film Liberty Heights. Had to look it up. I love it

  3. J.... P....

    I love your video! Great scenes and editing that accompany some of the most beautiful music of our time. Tom Waits is a musical genius and the emotions he conveys go right to my soul. Thanks for this wonderful post :-)

  4. G.... A....

    Fucking tom waits! This song describes my exact emotions I am feeling. He's truly an amazing artist.

  5. M.... ....

    Genius!!

  6. p.... a....

    Las epopeyas más densas son las ordinarias, caballos celestes caídos en el desaguadero…

    p.... a....

    Translated this is.. The denser epics are the ordinary, celestial horses fallen down the drain. !

  7. H.... E....

    Man oh Man, is there anyone cooler and smoother than ol tom waits? no

  8. J.... S....

    This is a scene from the movie called 'The Big sleep', beautiful movie and a beautiful book. I love Robert Mitchum, but the remake.... nothing on the original.

  9. f.... ....

    every time time this song starts, a cigarette lights itself

  10. S.... ....

    The Big Sleep

  11. G.... T....

    BRAVO.

  12. T.... ....

    Any min a gun will go off and Tom will slide down the piano playing that cool last chord.

  13. R.... ....

    Every time this song starts, I light a cigarette.

  14. o.... ....

    Usually I wake up with a random Tom Waits' song on my mind, every morning. But lately it's been the same song for many days in a row. I don't know what happened, this just stuck in my head so much. It makes the morning seem like late evening in a dim, smoky, lonely bar.
    This video is absolutely brilliant. I think that Tom should log in and congratulate you!

  15. B.... H....

    This song reminds me of Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises, where he's drunk, getting his head down, and the woman's telling him why they can't be together.

  16. m.... ....

    @judy2007 what are the other three? just out of interest :)

  17. J.... ....

    I think Tom Waits is original and electrifying. Maybe some people don't get him He is definitely in the top four of entertainers who I love

  18. A.... H....

    Track #12 on my all time greatest lovemaking playlist. He positively puuurrrrrrrsss this song out, really sends those shivers to all the right places on my baby :)

  19. 6.... ....

    i listen to hip hop and rap mainly but i have ALWAYS had a soft spot for tom waits. his music is haunting joyous depressing chaotic all wrapped into a voice of whisky and ciggarettes and i fucking love it,

  20. b.... ....

    I'm so addicted to every one of these videos!

  21. P.... P....

    once you let it go, there is no more blues

  22. b.... ....

    if you have time listen to my song called all you have

  23. u.... ....

    @sillystupidpeople but hey, somebody thinks that way about justin bieber. it's all about personal taste of music

  24. E.... I....

    @MashkaTekoa You poor piece of Nothingness, listen to your ...whatever you're listening to...You don't have to yell...Nobody gives a damn about your opinion anyhow... de gustibus...but you are probably way to inept and I'm waisting my time...

  25. J.... D....

    I was at my friends gig at this pub not too long ago ... i saw a little tele in the corner playing a black and white film... i saw some guy with a hat on get out of a mini and jump through the window and right then i said.... this is on a tom waits song!! but... i and the rest of my friends are 17 so everyone didnt know what i was talking about

  26. P.... M....

    Interesting the way you have edited this so that it ends the same way that it begins.

  27. U.... ....

    Me ha encantado, un 10 (^-_-^)
