Tom Waits | Road to Peace

(c) Henry Diltz


"And if god is great and god is good, why can't he change the hearts of men?
Well, maybe god himself is lost and needs help
Maybe god himself he needs all of our help
Maybe god himself is lost and needs help
He's out upon the road to peace"

I guess that Tom Waits will have to write some new verses to this song soon. It would have been nice if he didn't have to think about it on his 68th birthday. I don't know if he does, but my thoughts went to this song today. Released on the expansive and very good box set Orphans in 2006. I urge you all to read the lyrics and more about the facts behind them at tomwaitslibrary.info.
