Description Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, there's people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late,
You'd like some some company,
Well I've had two, I look at you, and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

First of all let me tell you why I asked for your critique:
- I had/have mixed feelings about this photo. When I took it I was only thinking and wanting to focus the couple and their (falling in love?) behavior. I also wanted to include in the frame the street lamp, I thought it would be an interesting romantic detail.
When I uploaded it and started receiving comments, that's when I thought about all of the distractions that are adding "noise" to the photo (all the signs and other urban details). You see for me, this view outside the train station is so "normal" (my everyday) that I can focus right away on the couple. But for everyone else not accustomed to this place I guess it becomes a bit difficult to get what I intended to show here.
I guess this great song (title) saved me, at least partially.

- The sign says: dress well. and cheaply. only here

- The depth of field issue... Well, 99% of the times I shoot with auto mode and I think that even with manual mode me and my camera couldn't do much better.

Once again, danke schön for taking the time to take a more detailed look at it.

É, já vi a tua galeria eu adoro o Porto também . Tens que ir (se ainda não conheces) ao Jardim Botânico e à zona da Foz.

Ainda bem que a foto te tocou de alguma forma.

Yeah, it has a lot of details but if you "follow" the title and lyrics I added you should focus more on them rather than on everything else.
Maybe I should have cropped and made a greater zoom on them but I like the whole image.

Obrigada.
É um bom slogan, ou pelo menos eficaz.
Mas eu quero fall in love , só que estes meninos do dA não permitem que se escreva um título que contenha mais de 30 caracteres, então ficaria: "hope I don't fall in love with" .
É verdade que poderia ter escrito hope I don't fall in love w/u, mas não gostei, acho que não "honrava" a canção e o autor.
