《As I Sat Sadly by Her Side》歌词

[00:00:00] As I Sat Sadly By Her Side - Nick Cave

[00:00:39] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:00:43] At the window through the glass

[00:00:48] She stroked a kitten in her lap

[00:00:52] And we watched the world as it fell past

[00:00:58] Softly she spoke these words to me

[00:01:02] And with brand new eyes open wide

[00:01:07] We pressed our faces to the glass

[00:01:11] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:01:24] She said father mother sister brother

[00:01:30] Uncle aunt nephew niece

[00:01:35] Soldier sailor physician labourer

[00:01:40] Actor scientist mechanic priest

[00:01:44] Earth and moon and sun and stars

[00:01:48] Planets and comets with tails blazing

[00:01:54] All are there forever falling

[00:01:58] Falling lovely and amazing

[00:02:13] Then she smiled and turned to me

[00:02:17] And waited for me to reply

[00:02:22] Her hair was falling down her shoulders

[00:02:26] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:02:41] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:02:45] The kitten she did gently pass

[00:02:50] Over to me and again we pressed

[00:02:54] Our different faces to the glass

[00:02:59] That may be very well I said

[00:03:02] But watch the one falling in the street

[00:03:08] See him gesture to his neighbours

[00:03:13] See him trampled beneath their feet

[00:03:17] All outward motion connects to nothing

[00:03:21] For each is concerned with their immediate need

[00:03:27] Witness the man reaching up from the gutter

[00:03:30] See the other one stumbling on who can not see

[00:03:46] With trembling hand I turned toward her

[00:03:50] And pushed the hair out of her eyes

[00:03:55] The kitten jumped back to her lap

[00:03:59] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:04:14] Then she drew the curtains down

[00:04:17] And said when will you ever learn

[00:04:23] That what happens there beyond the glass

[00:04:27] Is simply none of your concern

[00:04:32] God has given you but one heart

[00:04:36] You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers

[00:04:41] And god don't care for your benevolence

[00:04:45] Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others

[00:04:51] Nor does he care for you to sit

[00:04:54] At windows in judgement of the world he created

[00:05:00] While sorrows pile up around you

[00:05:04] Ugly useless and over inflated

[00:05:19] At which she turned her head away

[00:05:23] Great tears leaping from her eyes

[00:05:29] I could not wipe the smile from my face

[00:05:32] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:05:41] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:05:50] As I sat sadly by her side

[00:06:00] As I sat sadly by her side
