Slowly Goes The Night Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Darlin', let mornin' to chose to go 

Awoke in my [incomprehensible] and groves 

You're diggin' my car, stolen my cash 

Even my 500 dollar super sledge 

 

And I just laid there 

Watchin' the sun fall down from the sky 

Not wantin' to open the letter 

But opened it anyway and seein' those two words 

 

Lover, lover, goodbye 

So slowly goes the night 

Next to me lies your body playin' 

Like the map of some forbidden land 

 

I trace the ghosts of your bones 

With my trembling hand 

Dark is my night 

And darker is my day, yeah 

 

I must've been blind, out of my mind 

I never, never saw the warning signs 

How goes it? It goes lonely 

It goes slowly 

 

So slowly goes the night 

Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights 

And watch the moon get flayed each night 

Until the moon becomes the skin in night 

 

Other 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 evenin', I'm leavin' and I laughed and checked her breathin' 

And said darlin', go slowly through the night 

 

O, baby, I feel the heal of time 

I wake to find you sittin' out there 

Cuttin' tangels out of your hair 

Singin' a song, that's all wrong 

 

Hey, but that's alright, I don't care 

O, darling, forgive me 

For all the misery, yeah 

I reach out and embrace an empty space 

 

A song that slowly, slowly fades 

Where goes it? 

It goes some place, it goes somewhere 

Where it's lonely 

 

And black as the night 

Come on darling', let's put things right, put things right 

I hang my head and cry cry cry 

Darling, all night I try 

 

To cease on a reason for this mad, mad season 

The nights, they are so long, I can't remember being in 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't forget 

How goes it? I'm going, but slowly slowly going 

And we both know that it's gonna be alright 

 

But it ain't you who has to cry, cry, cry 

Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights 

Since you left my side, side, side
