brompton oratory (live at alexandra palace, 2020) - nick cave & the bad seeds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
up those stone steps i climb
hail this joyful day’s return
into its great shadowed vault i go
hail the pentecostal morn
the reading is from luke 24
where christ returns to his loved ones
i look at the stone apostles
think that it’s alright for some

[verse 2]
and i wish that i was made of stone
so that i would not have to see
a beauty impossible to define
a beauty impossible to believe
a beauty impossible to endure
the blood imparted in little sips
the smell of you still on my hands
as i bring the cup up to my lips

[verse 3]
no god up in the sky
no devil beneath the sea
could do the job that you did, baby
of bringing me to my knees
outside i sit on the stone steps
with nothing much to do
forlorn and exhausted, baby
by the absence of you

- nick cave the bad seeds lyrics
