Brompton Oratory (2011 - Remaster) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克凱夫與壞種子合唱團)

Written by:Nicholas Edward Cave

Up those stone steps I climb

 

Hail this joyful day's return

 

Into it's 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

 

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

 

No god up in the sky

 

And 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
