PLEASE LISTEN TO MY OTHER TAKE OF THIS SONG ON MY CHANNEL. MY INTONATION IS MUCH BETTER. I heard this one on Sirius, then bought it on iTunes, then looked it up on Chordie. It was recorded in 1973 as part of Tom Waits' Closing Time album. It is a joy to me that there could be songs like this one still out there for me to discover. This one touches me in a very deep and achingly satisfying way. It speaks to loneliness, desperation and that never ending fantasy that love can be wrested out of meeting in a crowded bar. My heart says it's possible. My head says it's insane. I am in awe of the talent of Mr. Tom Waits. When I first heard him sing, I thought, "Whoa, this guy is "out there"." Now I see him as an artistic genius. Thanks Tom.
