Night On Earth, 1992
Written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan
Clunking, shambling percussion and bleating horns punctuate an accordion line as Waits growls out what appears to be a ghost's determination to return. "On October's last I'll fly back home / Rolling down winding way." he avers. He may return on Halloween but he longs for summer. "And all I've got's a pocket full of flowers on my grave," the spirit rumbles. It's a great song, but the production could be clearer; it's a muted sound, even compared to the Waltz version of the song on the same album.
