The Weeping Song (Live) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克凯夫与坏种子合唱团)

Go son go down to the water

And see the women weeping there

Then go up into the mountains

The men they are all weeping too

Father why are all the women weeping

They are all weeping for their men

Then why are all the men there weeping

They are weeping back at them

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the men and women sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won't be weeping long

Father why are all the children weeping

They are merely crying son

Oh are they merely crying father

Yes true weeping is yet to come

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the little children sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won't be weeping long

Oh father tell me are you weeping

Your face seems wet to touch

Oh then I'm so sorry father

I never thought I hurt you so much

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While we rock ourselves to sleep

This is a weeping song

But we won't be weeping long

No we won't be weeping long

No we won't be weeping long
