The Sweetest Embrace Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Our time is done my love 

We've laid it all to waste 

One thousand moonlit kisses 

can't sweeten this bitter taste 

My desire for you is endless 

and I'll love you 'till we fall 

I just don't want you no more 

and that's the sweetest embrace of all 

To think we can find happiness 

hidden in a kiss 

Ah, to think we can find happiness 

that's the greatest mistake there is 

There is nothing left to cling to babe 

There is nothing left to soil 

I just don't want you no more 

and that's the sweetest embrace of all 

Ooohhh where did it begin 

When all we did was lose 

There's nothin' left to win 

So lay your weapons down 

they serve no purpose in your hands 

And if you wanna hold me 

then go ahead and hold me 

I won't upset your plans 

If it's revenge you want 

then take it babe 

Or you can walk right out the door 

I just don't want you anymore 

And that's the sweetest embrace of all 

Ooohhh where did it begin 

When all we did was lose 

There's nothin' left to win 

It's over babe 

And it really is a shame 

We are losers you and me babe 

In a rigged and crooked game 

My desire for you is endless 

And I love you most of all 

I just don't want you no more 

and that's the sweetest embrace of all
