World Keeps Turning

(Tom Waits/ Kathleen Brennan)



On our anniversary

There'll be someone else where you used to be

The world don't care and yet it clings to me

And the moon is gold and silvery



Who knows where the sidewalk ends

Well, the road will turn and the road will bend

They always say he marks the sparrow's fall

How can anyone believe it all?



Well, the band has stopped playing but we keep dancing

The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning

On his hand he wore the ring of another

And the world keeps turning, the world keeps turning



We broke the bank and we tore up the place

And we disappeared oh without a trace

Now the sun it falls into the sea

And around the only one for me



I was so green and the dress you wore was yellow

And the world keeps turning, the world keeps turning

The sun is down and the moon is in the meadow

And the world keeps turning, the world keeps turning



Put a hat on your head

Will you paint the whole damned town red with me?



Well, the band has stopped playing but we keep dancing

The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning

On his hand he wore the ring of another

The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning



The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning

The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning
