The Weeping Song (By Nick Cave) (feat.Johan Edlund-Tiamat)
Go son, go down to the water And see the women weeping there Then go up into the mountains The men, they are all weeping too Father, why are all the women weeping? They are all weeping for their men Then why are all the men there weeping? They are weeping back at them
This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the men and women sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long
Father, why are all the little children weeping? They are merely crying, son O, are they merely crying, father? Yes, true weeping is yet to come
This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the little children sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long
O father tell me, are you weeping? Your face seems wet to touch O then I'm so sorry, father I never thought I hurt you so much
This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While we rock ourselves to sleep This is a weeping song But we won't be weeping long No, we won't be weeping long No, we won't be weeping long
