( written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan )
If you want money in your pocket
And a top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Well today is grey skies
Tomorrow is tears
You`ll have to wait til yesterday is here
I`m going to New York City
And I`m leaving on a train
And if you want to stay behind and wait
Til I come back again
Well today is grey skies
And tomorrow is tears
You`ll have to wait til yesterday is here
If you want to go
Where the rainbows end
You`ll have to say goodbye
All our dreams come true
Baby up ahead
And it`s out where your memories lie
Well the road`s out before me
The moon is shining bright
What I want you to remember
As I disappear tonight
Today is grey skies
Tomorrow is tears
You`ll have to wait til yesterday is here
