Sweetheart Come - Nick Cave & 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
