Fish & Bird Lyrics - Alice (the Original Demos) - Tom Waits

They bought a round for the sailor 

And they heard his tale 

Of a world that was so far away 

And a song that we'd never heard 

A song of a little bird 

That fell in love with a whale 

He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean' 

And she said to him 

'You never can live in the sky' 

But the ocean is filled with tears 

And the sea turns into a mirror 

There's a whale in the moon when it's clear 

And a bird on the tide

Please don't cry 

Let me dry your eyes 

So tell me that you will wait for me 

Hold me in your arms 

I promise we never will part 

I'll never sail back to the time 

But I'll always pretend you're mine 

Though I know that we both must part 

You can live in my heart 

Please don't cry 

Let me dry your eyes 

Photos 

And tell me that you will wait for me 

Hold me in your arms 

I promise we never will part 

I'll never sail back to the time 

But I'll always pretend that you're mine 

I know that we both must part 

You can live in my heart
