Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Cassiel's Song Lyrics
Weve come to bring you homeHavent we, cassiel?To cast aside your loss and all your sadnessAnd shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madnessFor were here to pick you up and bring you homeArent we, cassiel?Its a place where you did not belongWere time itself was mad and far too strongWhere life leapt up laughing and hit you head onAnd hurt you, didnt it hurt you, cassiel?While time outran you and trouble flew toward you,And you were there to greet it,Werent you, foolish cassiel?But here we are, weve come to call you homeAnd here youll stay never more to strayWhere you can kick off your boots of clayCant you, cassiel?For death and you did recklessly collideAnd time ran out of youAnd you ran out of time,Didnt you, cassiel?And all the clocks, in all the worldMay this once just skip a beat in memory of youThen again those damn clocks, they probably wontWill they, cassiel?One moment you are there and then strangely you are gone,But on behalf of all of us here we are glad to have you homeArent we, dear cassiel?
