Lawrence,

Hopefully a night of Tom Waits included a lot of "The Heart Of Saturday Night" and "Closing Time".

If I had to have guessed, it would be you that spent the night listening to Randy Newman. But you can't go wrong with either...

I love everything about this. Man! this is good!!! Every single line. What a fine piece of songwriting!

Excellent vocal.

I liked the long opening, actually. I would have liked to hear a lonesome sax instead of the piano (tho' the piano was well done) - just seems more appropriate in the storm - something similar to the trumpet in Springsteen's "Meeting Across The River"...

Let me say again... MAN! This is good!
