Tom Waits - A Good Man Is Hard To Find

[Umma]

A Good Man Is Hard To Find

(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 2000)

Well I always play Russian Roulette in my head

Seventeen black, or twenty-nine red

How far from the gutter? How far from the pew?

I'll always remember to forget about you

A good man is hard to find

Only strangers sleep in my bed

And my favorite words are goodbye

And my favorite color is red

A long dead soldier looks out from the frame

No one remembers his war, no one remembers his name

Go out to the meadow, scare off all the crows

It does nothing but rain here, nothing will grow

A good man is hard to find

Only strangers sleep in my bed

And my favorite words are goodbye

And my favorite color is red

My favorite color is red

My favorite color is red
