Lovely Creature Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Come on, come on 

There she stands, this lovely creature 

There she stands, there she stands 

With her hair full of ribbons 

And green gloves on her hands 

So I asked this lovely creature 

Yes I asked, yes I asked 

Would she walk with me a while 

Through this night so vast? 

She took my hand, this lovely creature 

"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said 

"Yes, I'll walk with you a while" 

I was a joyful man, she led 

Over hills, this lovely creature 

Over mountains, over ranges 

By great pyramids and sphinxs 

We met drifters and strangers 

Oh the sands, my lovely creature 

And the mad, moaning winds 

At night the deserts writhed 

With diabolical things 

All through the night, through the night 

The wind lashed and it whipped me 

When I got home 

My creature was no longer with me 

Go, come on 

Somewhere she lies, this lovely creature 

Beneath the slow drifting sands 

With her hair full of ribbons 

And green gloves on her hands
