The Big Hurt Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Now it begins, now that you're gone 

Needles and pins, twilight till dawn 

Watching that clock till you return 

And lighting that torch and watching it burn 

Now it begins, day after day 

This is my life ticking away 

Waiting to hear footsteps that say: 

Love will appear and this time will stay 

Each time you go 

I try to pretend 

It's over at last 

This time the big hurt will end 

Now it begins, now that you're gone 

Needles and pins, twilight till dawn 

So if you don't come back again 

I wonder when, oh when will it end? 

The big hurt (repeat)
