( written by tom waits and kathleen brennan )



If you want money in your pocket

And a top hat on your head

A hot meal on your table

And a blanket on your bed



Well today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait til yesterday is here



I'm going to new york city

And i'm leaving on a train

And if you want to stay behind and wait

Til i come back again



Well today is grey skies

And tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait til yesterday is here



If you want to go

Where the rainbows end

You'll have to say goodbye

All our dreams come true

Baby up ahead

And it's out where your memories lie



Well the road's out before me

The moon is shining bright

What i want you to remember

As i disappear tonight



Today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait til yesterday is here
