nick cave - well of misery lyrics

Loading...

along crags and sunless cracks i go
up rib of rock, donw spine of stone
i dare not slumber where the right winds whistle
lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle
o the same god that abandon’d her
has in turn abandon’d me
and softenin’ the turf with with my tears
i dug a well of misery
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 m-ffles 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
o the same god that abandon’d her
has in turn abandon’d me
deep in the desert of despair
i wait at the well of misery
