Tom Waits - Strange Weather

Will you take me across the channel

London Bridge is falling down

Strange a woman tries to save

More than a man will try to drown

And it's the rain that they predicted

It's the forecast every time

The rose has died because you picked it

I believe that brandy's mine

And all over the world

Strangers talk only about the weather

All over the world

It's the same

It's the same

And the world is getting flatter

And the sky is falling all around

Oh and nothing is the matter

For I'll never cry in town

And a love like ours my dear

Is best measured when it's down

And I never buy umbrellas

Cause there's always one around

And all over the world

Strangers talk only about the weather

All over the world

It's the same

It's the same

And you know that it's the beginning

And you know that it's the end

Once again we are strangers

As the fog goes rolling in

And all over the world

Strangers talk only about the weather

All over the world

It's the same

It's the same

It's the same
