Sweetheart Come

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

Come over here, babe
 It ain't that bad
 I don't claim to understand
 The troubles that you've had
 But the dogs you say they fed you to
 Lay their muzzles in your lap
 And the lions that they led you to
 Lie down and take a nap
 The ones you fear are wind and air
 And I love you without measure
 It seems we can be happy now
 Be it better late than never

Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come to me

The burdens that you carry now
 Are not of your creation
 So let's not weep for their evil deeds
 But for their lack of imagination
 Today's the time for courage, babe
 Tomorrow can be for forgiving
 And if he touches you again with his stupid hands
 His life won't be worth living

Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come
 Sweetheart, come to me

Walk with me now under the stars
 For it's a clear and easy pleasure
 And be happy in my company
 For I love you without measure
 Walk with me now under the stars
 It's a safe and easy pleasure
 It seems we can be happy now
 It's late but it ain't never
 It's late but it ain't never
 It's late but it ain't never
