Tom Waits – Poncho's Lament Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: The Early Years Vol. 1

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
And I ain^,t maid my bed in a week
Coffee stains on the paper I^,m writing
And I^,m too choked up inside to speak
And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart
Never spoke a word heart to heart
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
But I wish to the lord that you^,d come home
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
But I wish to the lord that you^,d come home
Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord
That you^,ll quit your honkey-tonkin^, sing my song
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
Got the feeling so strong
[ Poncho's Lament lyrics from

And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
But I wish to the lord that you^,d come home
So I^,ll throw another log onto the fire
And I^,ll admit I^,m a lousy liar
As the coals die down and flicker
I hear that guitar picker
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
I^,m glad that you^,re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
But I wish to the lord that you^,d come home
And I^,m glad, damn glad you^,re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I^,m glad that you^,re gone
But I wish to the lord that you^,d come home
