Temptation - Cover of the song by Tom Waits

This song is from Waits' 1987 album "Frank's Wild Years". Diana Krall covered it - in my opinion beautifully - in her 2004 album "The Girl in the Other Room".

The lyrics:

Temptation – Tom Waits

Rusted brandy in a diamond glass
Everything is made from dreams
Time is made from honey slow and sweet
Only fools know what it means

Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't resist

Well I know that she is made of smoke
But I seem to have lost my lost my way
She knows that I am broke
But that I must play

Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't resist


Dutch pink and Italian blue
She is there waiting for you
My will has disappeared
Now confusion is oh so clear

Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't resist

Rusted brandy in a diamond glass
Everything is made from dreams
Time is made from honey slow and sweet
Only fools know what that means

Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't resist
