1
I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
2
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
3
Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
4
I look to my sorrowful wife
5
Who is quietly tending her flowers
6
Who is quietly tending her.....
7

Through me and my sorrowful wife
11
Who is shifting the furniture around
12

Goes to my lovely, my sorrowful wife
17
Who is counting the days on her fingers
18
Who is counting the days on her.....

Come on now and help me babe

I was blind

Come on now

A loose wind last night blew down
32
Black trees bent to the ground

Their blossoms made such a sound
34
That I could not hear myself think babe
35
Come on now
36
And help me babe
37
Help me now
38
I was blind
39
I was a fool
I do, dear I do - Nick Cave & The Bad S...
