Lament

Nick Cave &The Bad Seeds

I've seen your fairground hair

Your seaside eyes

Your vampire tooth

Your little truth

And your tiny lies

I know your trembling hand

Your guilty prize

Your sleeping limbs

Your foreign hymns

And your midnight cries

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

I know your trail of tears

Your slip of hand

Your monkey claw

Your monkey paw

And your monkey hand

I've seen your trick of blood

Your trap of fire

Your ancient wound

Your scarlet moon

And your jailhouse smile

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

I'll miss your urchin smile

Your orphan tears

Your shining prize

Your tiny cries

Your little fears

And I'll miss your fairground hair

Your seaside eyes

Your little truth

And your vampire tooth

And your tiny lies

*So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away*
