    "Blue Valentine" by Tom Waits from the album 'Blue Valentine'
    Lyrics
    she sends me blue valentines
    all the way from philadelphia
    to mark the anniversary
    of someone that i used to be
    and it feels just like there’s
    a warrant out for my arrest
    got me checkin in my rearview mirror
    and i’m always on the run
    thats why i changed my name
    and i didn’t think you’d ever find me here
    to send me blue valentines
    like half forgotten dreams
    like a pebble in my shoe
    as i walk these streets
    and the ghost of your memory
    is the thistle in the kiss
    and the burgler that can break a roses neck
    it’s the tattooed broken promise
    that i hide beneath my sleeve
    and i see you every time i turn my back
    she sends me blue valentines
    though i try to remain at large
    they’re insisting that our love
    must have a eulogy
    why do i save all of this madness
    in the nightstand drawer
    there to haunt upon my shoulders
    baby i know
    i’d be luckier to walk around everywhere i go
    with a blind and broken heart
    that sleeps beneath my lapel
    she sends my blue valentines
    to remind me of my cardinal sin
    i can never wash the guilt
    or get these bloodstains off my hands
    and it takes a lot of whiskey
    to make these nightmares go away
    and i cut my bleedin heart out every nite
    and i die a little more on each st. valentines day
    remember that i promised i would
    write you...
    these blue valentines
    blue valentines
    blue valentines

    You could be the most lonely person in the world. But the only thing that's never going to abandon you, is music.

    Sang this song over and over to my newly born daughter in intensive care unit until she was able to breath on her own.... Took 8 days.... She still likes this song even though she's 16 now.... Music saved her life... Thanks Tom.

    Found this album in a marked down bin. Had never heard of Tom before. Took it home. This song........omg....still haven't got over the amazement, all these years later. Most incredible song, the lyrics are like none I've ever heard in my life.... just hard to believe this artist's mind and vision.

    Как же я люблю эту песню! Каждый звук, каждое слово рвет душу. Сожаление о том, чего уже не исправить, которое оставляет трещину на сердце навсегда. То сожаление, что заставляет вдруг грустно задуматься в самый неожиданный момент посреди веселья, отключившись на минуту от всего, упасть в свое воспоминание, о котором никто не знает и которое никто не поймет

    This whole album is amazing, i only knew Tom Waits from Primus' "Tommy the Cat", just broke up with my girl who we were together for years and years but now I know it's over and this album is medicine. And his lyrics on most of the songs reminds me of being strung out to forget or drinking the blues away. This album is a masterpiece

    Canzone triste malinconica ma allo stesso tempo impossibile staccarsi perché ti procura quel sottile dolore che diventa insostenibile ma che ti porta alla crisi di astinenza dello stesso...e non puoi farne a meno e non riesci a staccarti.... ciao Tom

    Me mandó valentines tristes desde Filadelfia, para señalar el aniversario...
    De aquel que yo solía ser... y lo siento como si se tratara de una orden de arresto,
    De alguien que me vigila desde un espejo retrovisor... "yo sigo a salto de mata",
    Y es por eso que me cambié el nombre... y nunca me imaginé que pudiera encontrarme,
    Me mandó un valentín triste, como aquel sueño roto, como una piedra en el zapato cuando pateo por las calles... y el fantasma de la memoria es la espina en el beso... es el ladrón que rompe el tallo de la rosa, es la promesa rota tatuada bajo la manga... te veo cada vez que te doy la espalda.
    Me manda valentines tristes, por más que intento estar en Altamar en Casa de la chingada...
    Insiste en que ése amor debe tener una estela... cómo podré salvarme de toda ésta locura que guardo en el cajón de la mesita de noche, que me espía permanentemente sobre los hombros...
    ¡Nena!, yo sé que sería feliz si pudiera ir por el mundo con un corazón roto y ciego... ése corazón que duerme en mi solapa. Y me manda sus valentines tristes... para recordarme el pecado capital, para que no pueda nunca lavar la culpa, para que no pueda nunca deshacerme de los rastros de sangre en las manos... y te juró, me lleva muchas, muchas botellas de whisky poder alejar las pesadillas de mí... cómo podré deshacerme de éste corazón roto, cada noche... y cada noche de San Valentín, me muero un poco más... y me acuerdo que te prometí que te escribiría... yo también... en estos tristes valentines... tristes valentines...
