lost in the harbour

• tom waits'in alice albumunden bir sarki:
  
  over here the ladies all want sweet perfume
  but there's never a rose
  and over the roses are frightened to bloom
  so they never can grow
  
  and over here they need wool
  for weaving their baby's new clothes
  but nobody has any wool
  and the sheep are all lost in the harbour
  lost in the harbour
  
  and over here they want diamonds to wear
  but there aren't any here
  and over there everyone's hiding their tears
  but they're crying inside
  
  and the wall won't come down
  till they're no longer afraid of themselves
  and if you don't believe me ask yourselves
  and then i can come down to the harbour
  down to the harbour
  
  and then i will fill the ocean back up with my tears
  i still have a couple more years
  and then i can come back to the harbour
  down to the harbour
