Tom Waits - Walk Away Lyrics






Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
She need a way to turn around the bend
She said I want to walk away and start over again

There are things I've done I can't erase
I want to look in the mirror see another face
I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away, start over again

No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond

There's a winner in every place
There's a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
When it's time to walk away and start over again

Weather's murder at a hundred and three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You wanna walk away and start over again

No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond

Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I want to walk away, start over again

I left my bible by the side of the road
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again

Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away

    Oh Tom how do you know all the time what my soul wants to hear

  3. J.... N....

    The first line of the song has always intrigued me as to who Dot King was. Finally looked her up...http://malefactorsregister.com/wp/the-butterfly-murders/

  4. C.... F....

    He's embracing the totality of his madness, "No more rain, no more roses."

  5. J.... F....

    Tom Wait is a great great man with a talent one can only aspire to

  6. A.... n....

    I love him, always makes great song

  7. Z.... D....

    How was this not on an album? Soundtrack only? Amazing piece of work.

  8. e.... i....

    I truly cannot like tom waits music. I massively enjoy his personality, interviews and appearances on screen though.

  9. V.... B....

    walk away

  10. j.... ....

    This is one of the greatest songs ever written. And if you have a problem with that then you have a problem with life.

  11. m.... U....

    ...time..!!

  12. t.... ....

    Love me some Tom Waits!

  13. w.... k....

    So. What have we learned from this?

  14. A.... S....

    Everytime I here Tom Waits I feel like railing a line of cocaine or 10.

  15. R.... E....

    there nothing too walk away from,,

  16. V.... B....

    tarantino needs to meet Tom if he hasn't ..great idea by another poster ...I agree

  17. J.... F....

    dont get much better than this !!!

  18. V.... B....

    Tom Waits is so far above as a song writer than anything I've heard ...amazing

  19. S.... E....

    Reality is for people who can't handle drugs. Tom Waits

  20. R.... B....

    Let a man sing like he owns a pair !!!

  21. V.... B....

    Super Legend!!!!

  22. R.... ....

    Louis Theroux in Sing Sing brought me here

  23. S.... C....

    Exactly how I feel...gotta walk away and start over again.

  24. V.... B....

    what an amazing lyricist , pure genius

  25. G.... S....

    Fuck yourself

  26. S.... C....

    This song is my number one favorite song of Tom Waits...and then the list goes on. Love this guy, such a unique and eccentric talent.

  27. s.... c....

    A funny song...

  28. c.... ....

    I don't know what Tom Waits would think of this idea, but when I hear this, I see tap choreography. It seems made for it. Also, if that is how you feel, don't give it a second thought. I would prefer to split than be thought of as cod liver oil. An obligation? The right thing that you don't want. Does that sound like a formula for happiness to you? Don't you try to put that on me. In that case, I want to walk away and start over again too. I am still so much better off than we met. Thanks for the help. I had this covered, and was only trying to figure out precisely what you were saying as I always have been. I wish I had changed sooner.

  29. T.... ....

    On my way ......X

  30. F.... v....

    Tom Waits is awsome in soooooooooo many aspects of the word his lyrics , his Voice, his mind & his heart . So much is felt in the tunes from this talent. Waits is one of the Greats

  54. D.... H....

    Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
    With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
    She need a way to turn around the bend
    She said I want to walk away and start over again

    There are things I've done I can't erase
    I want to look in the mirror see another face
    I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
    I wanna walk away, start over again

    No more rain, no more roses
    On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond

    There's a winner in every place
    There's a heart that's beating in every page
    The beginning of it starts at the end
    When it's time to walk away and start over again

    Weather's murder at a hundred and three
    William Ray shot Corabell Lee
    A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
    You wanna walk away and start over again

    No more rain, no more roses
    On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond

    Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
    They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
    I always get out of the trouble I'm in
    I want to walk away, start over again

    I left my bible by the side of the road
    Carve my initials in an old dead tree
    I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
    It's time to walk away and start over again

    Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
    Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
    Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
    Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away
