Cassiels Song — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seed)

Weve come to bring you home
Havent we, Cassiel?

To cast aside your loss and all of your sadness
And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness
For were here to pick you up and bring you home
Arent we, Cassiel?

Its a place where you did not belong
Where time itself was mad and far too strong
Where life leapt up laughing and hit you hear on and hurt you
Didnt it hurt you, Cassiel?

While time outran you and trouble flew toward you
And you were there to greet it
Werent you, foolish Cassiel?

But here we are, weve come to call you home
And here youll stay, never more to stray
Where you can kick off your boots of clay
Cant you, Cassiel?

For death and you did recklessly collide
And time ran out of you, and you ran out of time
Didnt you, Cassiel?

And all the clocks in all the world
May this once just skip a beat in memory of you
But then again those damn clocks, they probably wont
Will they, Cassiel?

One moment you are there
Then strangely you are gone
But on behalf of us all here
Were glad to have you home
Arent we, dear Cassiel?
