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

Darling that morning you chose to go

I woke in my boots and clothes

You dig in my cards stole all my cash

Even my 500 dollar suit was slashed

And I just lay there watching the sun fall down from the sky

Not wanting to open the letter

But opening it anyway

And seeing those two words

Lover lover goodbye

So slowly goes the night

Next to me lies your body

Playing like a map of some forbidden land

And I trace the ghost of your bones with my trembling hand

Dark is my night

And darker is my day

Yeah

I must been blind out of my mind

I never never saw the warning sign

How goes it

It goes lonely

It goes slowly

So slowly goes the night

Ten lonely days ten lonely nights

Come

I watch the moon get flayed each night

Till the moon becomes the skinning knife

The skins of my sins I send to cover and comfort you

I know of a heaven

But honey I know of a hell

Yeah

I hang my head

I toss in my bed

I never never forget the words you said

One evening I'm leaving

And I laughed and checked her breathing

And said darling

Go slowly through the night

O baby I feel the heal of time

And it hurts

I wake to find you sitting right there

Cutting tangles outta your hair

Singing a song that's all wrong

Hey but that's all right I don't care

Darling I'm sorry

For all your misery

Yeah

I reach out and embrace

An empty space

A song that slowly slowly fades

Where goes it

It goes someplace

It goes somewhere where its lonely

And black as the night

Come on home let's put things right

Put things right

I hang my head and cry cry cry

Darling all night I try

To seize on a reason for this mad mad season

The nights they are so long now

I can't remember them being light

Call it sleep call it death call it what you like

But only sleep only sleep brings you back to life

Yeah

I hang my head

I toss and I sweat

I never never never can forget

How goes it

Well I'm going

Baby slowly slowly goin'

And we both know that its gonna be alright

It ain't you that has to cry cry cry

Mm

Ten lonely days

Ten lonely nights

O since you left my side side side
