Waiting For You / Sun Forest – NICK CAVE & THE BAD THE SEEDS

All through the night we drove and the wind caught her hair And we parked on the beach in the cool evening air Well, sometimes it’s better not to say anything at all Your body is an anchor, never asked to be free Just want to stay in the business of making you happy Well I’m just waiting for you Waiting for you, waiting for you Waiting for you, waiting for you Waiting for you A priest runs through the chapel, all the calendars are turning A Jesus freak on the street says He is returning Well sometimes a little bit of faith can go a long, long way Your soul is my anchor, never asked to be freed Well sleep now, sleep now, take as long as you need ‘Cause I’m just waiting for you Waiting for you, waiting for you Waiting for you, waiting for you Waiting for you To return To return To return

I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies And the burning horses and the flaming trees As a spiral of children climb up to the sun Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me As the past pulls away and the future begins I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in Like a wave, like a wave And the past with its savage undertow lets go Come on everyone, come on everyone A spiral of children climbs up to the sun, to the sun, to the sun And on each golden rung, a spiral of children climbs up to the sun And a man called Jesus, he promised he would leave us With a word that would light up the night, oh the night But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one And it isn’t any fun, no it isn’t any fun To be standing here alone with nowhere to be With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief Everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree And everybody hanging from a tree Come on everyone, come on everyone A spiral of children climb up to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, taking everyone A spiral of children climbs up to the sun There is nothing more valuable than beauty they say There is nothing more valuable than love And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful Ah your bright green eyes, so beautiful I am here beside you Look for me in the sun I am beside you, I am within In the sunshine, in the sun
