Cold Cold Ground (2023 Remaster) Tom Waits

[Verse 1]
A crestfallen sidekick in an old café
Never slept with a dream before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower, Uncle Ray bought a round
Don't worry about the army in the cold, cold ground

[Refrain]
Cold, cold ground
Cold, cold ground
Cold, cold ground

[Verse 2]
Now don't be a crybaby when there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed
When the road's washed out, we pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms of the cold, cold ground

[Refrain]
The cold, cold ground
The cold, cold ground
The cold, cold ground

[Verse 3]
Therе's a ribbon in the willow, there's a tirе swing rope
There's a briar patch of berries takin' over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town
'Til we bury every dream in the cold, cold ground
