tom waits. anywhere i lay my head. [songs]

my head is spinning round
my heart is in my shoes
i went and set the thames on fire
now i must come back down
she's laughing in her sleeve, boy
i can feel it in my bones
but anywhere, anywhere i'm wanna
lay my head, boy, I wanna call my home
when I see that the world is upside down
seems that my pockets were filled up with gold
now the clouds have covered everything o'er
and the wind is blowing cold
well, i don't need anybody
because I learned, i learned to be alone
and i say anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
i lay my head, boy, i will call my home.

this song was a constant companion through many of the more solitary parts of my travels. this is a nomad's song. and when i grow up i wanna be a nomad. seriously.
