Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Well Of Misery

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Along crags and sunless cracks I go
Up rib of rock, down spine of stone
I dare not slumber where the right winds whistle
Lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle

[Chorus]
O the same God that abandoned her
Has in turn abandoned me
And softening the turf with with my tears
I dug a Well of Misery

[Chorus]
And, in that Well of Misery
Hangs a bucket fulla Sorrow
Which swings slow an’ achin’ like a bell
Its toll is dead and hollow
Down that well lies the long-lost dress
Of my lil floatin’ girl
That muffles a tear that you let fall
All down that Well of Misery
Put ya shoulder to the handle, if ya dare
And hoist that bucket, hither
Crank’n’hoist’n’hoist’n’crank
Till ya muscles waste’n’wither

[Chorus]
O the same God that abandoned her
Has in turn abandoned me
Deep in the Desert of Despair
I wait at the Well of Misery
