She fell away

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

Once she lay open like a road
 Carbed apart the madness that I stumbled from
 But she fell away
 She fell away
 Shed me like a skin
 She fell away
 Left me holding everything

Once the road lay open like a girl
 And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over
 But she fell away
 She fell away
 I did not see the cracks form
 As I knelt to pray
 I did not see the crevice yawn, no

Sometimes



At night I feel the end it is at hand
 My pistol going crazy in my hand
 For she fell away
 O she fell away
 Walked me th the brink
 The fell away
 I did not see her fall
 To better days
 Sometimes I wonder was she ever there at all
 She fell away
 She fell away
 She fell away
