Nick Cave - Sad Waters Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Down the road I look and there runs Mary
  • Hair of gold and lips like cherries
  • We go down to the river where the willows weep
  • Take a ***** root for a lovers seat
  • That rose out of the bitten soil
  • But sound to the ground by creeping ivy coils
  • O Mary you have seduced my soul
  • And I don't know right from wrong
  • Forever a hostage of your child's world
  • And then I ran my tin-cup heart along
  • The prison of her ribs
  • And with a toss of her curls
  • That little girl goes wading in
  • Rollin her dress up past her knee
  • Turning these waters into wine
  • Then she platted all the willow vines
  • Mary in the shallows laughing
  • Over where the carp dart
  • Spooked by the new shadows that she cast
  • Across these sad waters and across my heart
