Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - The Sorrowful Wife Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
  • Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
  • Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
  • I look to my sorrowful wife
  • Who is quietly tending her flowers
  • Who is quietly tending her .....
  • The water is high on the beckoning river
  • I made her a promise I could not deliver
  • And the cry of the birds sends a terrible shiver
  • Through me and my sorrowful wife
  • Who is shifting the furniture around
  • Who is shifting the furniture around
  • Now we sit beneath the knotted yew
  • And the bluebells bob around our shoes
  • The task of remembering the telltale clues
  • Goes to my lovely, my sorrowful wife
  • Who is counting the days on her fingers
  • Who is counting the days on her .....
  • Come on and help me babe
  • Come on now
  • Help me babe
  • I was blind
  • The grass here grows long and high
  • Twists right up to the sky
  • White clouds roll on by
  • Come on now and help me babe
  • I was blind
  • I was a fool babe
  • I was blind
  • Come on now
  • A loose wind last night blew down
  • Black trees bent to the ground
  • Their blossoms made such a sound
  • That I could not hear myself think babe
  • Come on now
  • And help me babe
  • Help me now
  • I was blind
  • I was a fool
