2:19

Tom Waits

Transposer:

I lost everything I had in the '29 flood The barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud Now I've got nothing but the whistle and the steam My baby's leaving on the 2:19 Now there's a fellow that's preaching 'bout hell and damnation Bouncing off the walls in the Grand Central Station I treated her bad I treated her mean My baby's leaving on the 2:19 I said hey hey I don't know what to do Hey hey I will remember you Hey hey I don't know what to do My baby's leaving on the 2:19 Now I've always been puzzled by the yin and the yang Come out in the wash but it always leaves a stain Sturm and Drang the luster and the sheen My baby's leaving on the 2:19 Toss the baby with the water and the preacher stole the bride Sent her out for a bottle but when she came back inside Didn't have my whiskey she didn't have my gin But a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin Hey hey I don't know what to do Hey hey I will remember you Hey hey I don't know what to do My baby's leaving on the 2:19 (Instrumental) On the train you get smaller as you get further away The roar covers everything you wanted to say Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye? Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye? I said hey hey I will remember you Hey hey I don't know what to do Hey hey I will remember you My baby's leaving on the 2:19 I said Hey hey I don't know what to do Hey hey I will remember you Hey hey I don't know what to do My baby's leaving on the 2:19 I said hey hey I don't know what to do Hey hey I will remember you Hey hey I don't know what to do My baby's leaving on the 2:19

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur exprime sa détresse et son sentiment de perte après avoir tout perdu à cause d'une inondation. Il évoque une relation brisée, marquée par des regrets et des comportements néfastes envers celle qu'il aime. Alors qu'elle s'apprête à partir, un mélange de nostalgie et d'incertitude l’envahit, et il se demande comment gérer cette séparation. Le contexte se déroule dans une ambiance mélancolique, avec des références à la vie d'autrefois, à des épreuves personnelles et à des lieux comme la gare de Grand Central. Les thèmes de la perte, de la rédemption et des choix de vie sont omniprésents, peignant un tableau sombre mais poignant de la vie et des relations humaines.
