Sunday Challenge 55 = A quote, saying or poetry
----------------------------------------
For this challenge I selected a song of Tom Waits, American artist, because of his inexhaustible creativity and beautiful sometimes quirky creations, coming from the heart.
There is a link to this music after the lyrics.

Muriel
Since you left town the clubs closed down
And there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
Down where we used to stroll
And Muriel
I still hit all the same old haunts
And you follow me wherever I go
And Muriel
I see you on a saturday night
In a penny arcade with your hair tied back
And the diamond twinkle in your eye
Is the only wedding ring I'll buy you
Muriel

And Muriel
How many times I've left this town
To hide from your memory
And it haunts me
But I only get as far as the next whiskey bar
I buy another cheap cigar and I'll see you every night
Hey Muriel
Muriel
Hey buddy got a light
-------------------------------

Written and performed by Tom Waits, Album: Foreign Affairs (1977)

Photo qui interroge. Le crépuscule dans l'espoir de rencontrer la personne désirée ou bien l'aube et la crainte de perdre cette même personne. Beau travail.
