She Fell Away Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Once she lay open like a road 

Carved apart the madness that I stumbled from 

But she fell away 

She fell away 

Shed me like a skin 

She fell away 

Left me holding everything, oh 

Oh 

Seems impossible to me now 

Seems impossible to me now 

Seems impossible to me now 

But once the road lay open like a girl 

And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over 

But she fell away 

She fell away 

I did not see the cracks form 

As I knelt to pray 

I did not see the crevice yawn, no 

No 

No 

Sometimes 

At night I feel the end it is at hand 

My pistol going crazy in my hand 

For she fell away 

O she fell away 

Walked me to the brink 

And fell away 

I did not see her fall 

To better days 

Sometimes I wonder was she ever really there at all, yeah 

Yes, she fell away 

She fell away 

Oh, she fell away 

Oh, she fell away
