Darker With The Day
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
As so with that,
I thought I'd take a final walk
The neighbours, bless them,
had turned out to be all talk
I could see their frightened faces
peering at me through the gate
I was looking for an end to this,
for some kind of closure
Time moved so rapidly,
I thought of my friends
who had died of exposure
And I remembered other ones
who had died from the lack of it
And in my best shoes
I started falling forward down the street
and jostled through the crowd
And love followed just behind me,
panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach
from a lonely little cloud
Inside I sat,
seeking the presence of a God
I searched through the pictures
in a leather-bound book
I found a woolly lamb dozing
in an issue of blood
And a gilled Jesus shivering
on a fisherman's hook
Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day
Back on the street
I saw a great big smiling sun
It was a Good day and an Evil day
and all was bright and new
that most destruction was being done
And it seemed to me
By those who could not choose between the two
Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
The streets groan with little Caesars,
Napoleons and cunts
With their building blocks
and their tiny plastic phones
Counting on their fingers,
with crumbs down their fronts
I passed by your garden,
saw you with your flowers
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke,
see little fires bursting on the lawns
listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement,
the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted,
to do us down
Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day
These streets are frozen now.
I come and go
Full of a longing for something
I do not know
My father sits slumped
in the deepening snow
As I search, in and out, above, about, below
It seems so long
Since you went away
And I
That it grows darker with the day
