What Can I Give You? - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

All my life I failed to see

One good thing standing in front of me And the planets gravitate around you

And the stars, the stars surround you

And the angels in heaven adore you

And the saints, the saints all stand and applaud you

What can I give you?

What can I give you in return?

The shadow came creeping, a criminal

That you chased, babe, from my life

And sometimes when I’m sleeping I see him shuffle against the night

Oh, he’s waiting, yeah he’s waiting to return

And each step I take moves me one step below you

And you must do in order to console me Help me, help me, help me, baby, reach down and collect me What can I give you?

What can I give you in return?

Galaxies collide;

they shower down around you

And I searched, I stumbled and then I found you

In your robe, in your crown, reaching low, babe

Reaching low down to the ground

What can I give you?

What can I give you in return?
