Such Things Should Never Happen

Such Things Should Never Happen - Nick Cave

Lyrics by：Nick Cave/Warren Ellis

Composed by：Nick Cave/Warren Ellis

Such things should

Never happen but we die

The swallow finds an

Oak to nest her young

Defenceless between

The earth and the sky

Uncounted beneath a

Vast indifferent sun

A mother holds her

Baby to her breast

She trusts in you yet

Does not dare to breathe

As the baby swallow

Falls from it's nest

As the mighty oak

Does not appear to see

Such things should

Never happen but they do

Beside a little books

A mother cries

The swallow seeks to

Build it's nest anew

The oak tree lifts

It's branches to it's eyes
