The Witness Song (2010 Digital Remaster) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克凱夫與壞種子合唱團)

Yeah yeah

Well well

I took a walk down to the port

Where strangers meet and do consort

All blinkered with desire

And a winter fog moved thickly on

A winter fog moved thickly on

A winter fog moved thickly on

Now who will be the witness

When the fog's too thick to see

And I saw a friend beside a wall

Her hands were raised in supplication

And her face I could not see at all

And I raised my hands in rage

And brought them down again

And we entered through the eastern door

And I entered through the eastern door

And she entered through the eastern door

Now who will be the witness

When you're all to blind to see

O yes yes yes

And time gets somewhat muddled here

But no matter no matter

Here come the events all tumbling down

Now beyond the wall was a great garden

Into which we passed

Me and my friend

And the place was all overgrown with weeds

And behold from its centre there rose a great fountain

The fountain with the healing waters

Yes The fountain with the healing waters

And we knelt down by the rim

And I dipped my hand in

And she dipped her hand in too

And I said "Are you healed "

And she said "Well are you healed "

And I said "Yes I'm healed"

And she said "Well yes I'm healed then too"

And I said "Babe you are a liar"

"Babe you are a liar"

"Babe you are a liar"

"Babe you are a liar"

"Babe you are a liar too"

Now who will be the witness

Who will be the witness

Who will be the witness

When you're all to healed to see

And I kissed her once I kissed her twice

And made my way to leave her

And she raised her hand up to her face

And brought it down again

I said "That gesture it will haunt me"

"That gesture it will haunt me"

And I left there by the eastern door

She left there by the western door

Now who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

When you're blind and you can't see

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

When you're all so clean and you cannot see

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there babe

Who will be the witness there

When your friends are everywhere

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

And your enemies have ceased to care

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness

Who will be the witness

Who will be the witness there

Who will be the witness there
