The Fall of Troy - Tom Waits (via NailandZed)

Why cook dinner?
Why make my bed?
Why come home at all?
Out the door and through the woods
There is a world where nothing grows

It’s hard to say grace and to sit in the place
Of someone missing at the table…

i know i’ve posted this song before — possibly even in the same context — but i have a pretty strong reaction to it for many reasons and it’s a really great song.
