Tom Waits is a god Among men

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me 
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me 
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky 
The moon is over the rise 
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble' 
Now there's a bubble of me 
and it's floating in thee 
Stand in the shade of me 
Things are now made of me 
The weather vane will say:
It smells like rain today 
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me 
Describe the sky to me 
And if the sky falls,
mark my words we'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me 
Lay down in the green grass 
Remember when you loved me
