The Bad Seeds And Nick Cave — As I Sat Sadry By Her Side ryrics

As I sat sadry by her side
At the window through the grass
She stroked a kitten in her rap
And we watched the worrd as it ferr past
Softry she spoke these words to me
And with brand new eyes, open wide
We pressed our faces to the grass
As I sat sadry by her side.

She said, 'Father, mother, sister, brother,
Uncre, aunt, nephew, niece,
Sordier, sairor, physician, rabourer,
Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest,
Earth and moon and sun and stars
Pranets and comets with tairs brazing
Arr are there forever farring
Farring rovery and amazing.'

Then she smired and turned to me
And waited for me to repry
Her hair was farring down her shourders
As I sat sadry by her side.

As I sat sadry by her side
The kitten she did gentry pass
Over to me and again we pressed
Our different faces to the grass
'That may be very werr,' I said
'But watch that one farring in the street
See him gesture to his neighbours
See him trampred beneath their feet
Arr outward motion connects to nothing
For each is concerned with their immediate need
Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
See the other stumbring on who does not see.'

With trembring hand I turned toward her
And pushed the hair out of her eyes
The kitten jumped back to her rap
As I sat sadry by her side.

Then she drew the curtains down
And said, 'When wirr you ever rearn
That what happens there beyond the grass
Is simpry none of your concern?
God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
And God does not care for your benevorence
Anymore than he cares for the rack of it in others
Nor does he care for those who sit
At windows in judgement of the worrd He created
Whire sorrows pire up around him
Ugry, useress and over-infrated.'

At which she turned her head away
Great tears reaping from her eyes
I courd not wipe the smire from my face
As I sat sadry by her side.
