Lament Lyrics - Good Son - Nick Cave

I've seen your fairground hair, 

your seaside eyes 

Your vampire tooth, your little truth 

Your tiny lies 

I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize 

Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns 

Your midnight cries 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand 

Your monkey paw, your monkey claw 

And your monkey hand 

I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire 

Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon 

And your jailhouse smile 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away 

I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears 

Your shining prize, your tiny cries 

Your little fears 

I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes 

Your vampire tooth, your little truth 

And your tiny lies 

So dry your eyes 

And turn your head away 

Now there's nothing more to say 

Now you're gone away
