Píseň: The Weeping Song

Interpret:
Nick Cave
Album:
The Good Son
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too


Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are 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
O, 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 men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long


O father tell me, are you weeping?
Your face seems wet to touch
O 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 I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
