Theres this stray cat I been taking care of for years, he's one of the best things I have in my life. And... just recently he's gone missing. This song is suddenly reminding me that, when I first started feeding him, I told myself it was only a matter of time before he left. I took that for granted, and didn't do enough to keep him safe. I hope to God my best friend comes back soon.

Happy ending edit: He came back just two nights ago, cried pretty bad upon his return😂He now has a blue break away collar, plan to get him an ID tag soon. Wish I could bring in that boy full-time ;_;

Beautiful human, that's Tom Waits. His music is the medicine ❤️

woke up with this song in my head, reminds me of my early 20s, vagabonding across the country, farming in Pennsylvania, late nights with whiskey and germans and glowworms in the earth, love in a hayloft, the beaches of the outer banks

I miss listening to music with friends time to time. I'm too alone to do that (not choose to be per se, but allowed to be). When I come here to listen to Tom, I suddenly became so talkative as this is my kind of crowd, I read almost every single comment left under his songs. As you guessed I'm pretending as I'm listening to Tom's music with friends and exchangin a few words with them. Thank you my friend. It's always a pleasure.

Phenomenal artist. His songwriting is par none. Arrangements blow me away.

Zach Snyder. Peaky blinders. It Makes no difference why you are here Just Sit Down and shut up and Listen to the sound of the Genius that is Tom Waits

[richardnotman]

The best songwriter of our or any time. Tom can cure what ails you.

Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws.
And you're east of east Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause.
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror.
And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here.

And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time.

And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train.
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away.
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget.
That history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit.
And Matilda asks the sailors "are those dreams or are those prayers?"
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit.

Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time.

Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street.
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet.
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
As the dish outside the window fills with rain.
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again

Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time

Fans of the show Gilmore Girls remember this song played at Richard Gilmores' funeral. An extremely touching scene.

After I saw the new trailer, this song brought me tears to my eyes.

It's been a long time I've loved Tom Waits.

[carolynkepes]

Easily one of my favorite Tom Waits songs - so beautiful and melancholy, so full of evocative imagery and wisdom...

... are those dreams or are those prayers...?

... It’s time, time, time,
And it’s time, time, time,
It’s time, time, time that you love,
And it’s time, time, time...

💖🙏🌟🎶

Gets me every time.

Tom Waits is the man, he's vastly underrated as Timmy down in the comments says

[gabinakapsova]

Omg. It's that real? Insane? It's Waits. Love it.

[johnwibbels]

Dam getting to old to cry. I guess it’s just time time. Sentimental thoughts Tom Waits brings it back home to me heart ❤️

Zack Snyder's Justice League is the reason why I started to listen to this touching song

This song is also suitable for Daniel Craig's final performance as James Bond aka Agent 007

Thanks Zack Snyder for bringing me to this song

His poetry gives me pause to reflect on his meaning and association with so many emotions I share
