The Briddle Path Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Luck kissed my brow and held me close 

Said, ''I can no longer stay 

My brother will watch over you 

While I'm gone away" 

"You two will get on fine," he said 

But he really did not convince 

The sun turned grey as he rode away 

And I haven't seen him since 

"I didn't catch your name," I said 

Luck's brother answered so 

"My name is Love," he said to me, 

"I'm sad to see my brother go" 

His teeth were straight and pearly white 

His eyes the clearest blue 

And when he spoke a second time 

His voice was rich and smooth
