Lament Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I've seen your fairground hair, your seaside eyes 

Your vampire tooth, your little truth and your tiny lies 

And I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize 

Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns and your midnight cries 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand 

Your monkey claw, your monkey paw and your monkey hand 

And I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire 

Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon, your jail house smile 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears 

Your shining prize, your tiny cries, your little fears 

And I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes 

Your little truth, your vampire tooth and your tiny lies 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away
