Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Wake Up My Lover
Wake up my lover with the long tangled hair Wake up for I have arrived My house is in order and I've done to me All the things that you said you require
Your fearless little man Has abandoned all his plans That crumbled the moment that I kissed you
On your small, hot mouth And your downy, brown limbs Which are hymns to the glory that is you
Wake up my lover with the restless hands That open and close as you sleep I cut myself away from all the shackles and chains Now I'm free, but I'm shaky and weak
I long to be beside you I long to be beside you Make me feel what's going down isn't wrong
Open your eyes and tell me That you will stay with me Before it really hits me just what I've done
You say love is like a fire - well, no it ain't It ain't like any fire I know You say love is forever - well, ain't that quaint Love's forever and then it up and goes
So wake up my lover with the caramel skin I need to disabuse me of all my fears The accusations, recriminations, the weeping, and the pleading Are still ringing in my ears
Wake up my lover with the curious smile That plays on your mouth while you dream I need to be near you again, I need to hear from you again Tell me we are right and holy and clean
