The Sweetest Embrace — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds)

Our time is done my love
We`ve laid it all to waste
One thousand moonlit kisses
can`t sweeten this bitter taste
My desire for you is endless
and I`ll love you `till we fall
I just don`t want you no more
and that`s the sweetest embrace of all


To think we can find happiness
hidden in a kiss
Ah, to think we can find happiness
that`s the greatest mistake there is
There is nothing left to cling to babe
There is nothing left to soil
I just don`t want you no more
and that`s the sweetest embrace of all


Ooohhh where did it begin
When all we did was lose
There`s nothin` left to win


So lay your weapons down
they serve no purpose in your hands
And if you wanna hold me
then go ahead and hold me
I won`t upset your plans
If it`s revenge you want
then take it babe
Or you can walk right out the door
I just don`t care anymore
And that`s the sweetest embrace of all


Ooohhh where did it begin
When all we did was lose
There`s nothin` left to win


It`s over babe
And it really is a shame
We are losers you and me babe
In a rigged and crooked game
My desire for you is endless
And I love you most of all
I just don`t want you no more
and that`s the sweetest embrace of all
