"Blue Valentines" by Tom Waits

LYRICS:

He sends me blue valentines
all the way from Philadelphia
to mark the anniversary
of someone that I used to be
and it feels just like there's
a warrant out for my arrest
got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
and I'm always on the run
thats why I change my name
and I didn't think you'd ever find me here

to send me blue valentines
like half forgotten dreams
like a pebble in my shoe
as I walk these streets
and the ghost of your memory
is the thistle in the kiss
and the burglar that that can break a rose's neck
it's the tattooed broken promise
that I hide beneath my sleeve
and I see you every time I turn my back

you send me blue valentines
though I try to remain at large
they're insisting that our love
must have a eulogy
why do I save all of this madness
in the nightstand drawer
there to haunt upon my shoulders
baby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
with a blind and broken heart
that sleeps beneath my lapel

you send me blue valentines
to remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
or get these bloodstains off my hands
and it takes a lot of whiskey
to make these nightmares go away
and I cut my bleedin' heart out every night
and I die a little more on each St.Valentine Day
remember that I promised I would
write you...
these blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines
