好听又治愈的一首歌-你当回家(汤姆维茨）

歌曲以天崩开头：当月碎天崩时，你当回家。

为什么会天崩？因为你的眼里全是你的缺乏，你哭也没用，你在一个混账的草台班子里担任主唱， 人生痛苦而短暂，波涛汹涌，找不到安静的港湾。你束手无策，被心魔所困，你知道应当臣服交托却放不下。

如何解决这些问题？直接的解法是：世界不是我的家，我只是过客。当回真正的家，当回心灵的家。

另有两个隐含的解法藏在谜题中，就是开篇提到的‘你的眼里全是你的缺乏’，和将近结束时提到的‘你知道你当臣服交托却仍放不下’，答案是应当感恩，应当交托放下。你当回家，因为家里有’当赞美进入的门，当称谢的进入的院‘，因为它有可以信赖交托万事的家主。

这首歌的节奏十分入耳，简洁规整，缓慢，又强劲有力，配上低沉的带着土地气息的男低音，有如劳动号子，又如行军号令，然而它又是缓缓的，从容的，不催促的，透着关切，透着劝慰。此歌可以说是黑人灵歌中的一颗珍宝。

Come up to the house - Tom Waits

Well, the moon is broken and the sky is cracked

Come on up to the house
The only things that you can see is all that you lack
Come on up to the house

All your crying don't do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross, we can use the wood
You gotta come on up to the house

Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home
I'm just a-passing through
You got to come on up to the house

There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And you're singing lead soprano in a junkman's choir
You got to come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy and you can't find no port
Got to come on up to the house, yeah

You gotta come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home I'm just a-passing through
You got to come on up to the house, yeah

You gotta come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home
I'm just a-passing through
You got to come on up to the house

There's nothing in the world that you can do
You gotta come on up to the house
And you been whipped by the forces that are inside you
Gotta come on up to the house

Well, you're high on top of your mountain of woe
Gotta come on up to the house
Well, you know you should surrender, but you can't let it go
You gotta come on up to the house, yeah

Gotta come on up to the house
Gotta come on up to the house
The world is not my home I'm just a-passing through
You gotta come on up to the house

Gotta come on up to the house
You gotta come on up to the house
Yeah yeah yeah
