Ryan Van Sickle - Fish and Bird (Tom Waits cover)

I fell in love with this beautiful old Tom Waits song the minute I heard it. The story, the melody, the lyrics. So here is my take on it I hope you enjoy. Fish & Bird (lyrics): By Tom Waits They bought a round for the sailor And they heard his tale Of a world that was so far away And a song that we'd never heard A song of a little bird That fell in love with a whale He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean' And she said to him 'You never can live in the sky' But the ocean is filled with tears And the sea turns into a mirror There's a whale in the moon when it's clear And a bird on the tide Please don't cry Let me dry your eyes So tell me that you will wait for me Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part I'll never sail back to the time But I'll always pretend you're mine Though I know that we both must part You can live in my heart Please don't cry Let me dry your eyes And tell me that you will wait for me Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part I'll never sail back to the time But I'll always pretend that you're mine I know that we both must part You can live in my heart
