Shattered Ground

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

2021

The moon in the night sky, with pale eyes

And pale skin and long hair covering her naked body

And sometimes she’s laughing and sometimes she’s crying

And sometimes the moon is talking to nobody

And there’s a madness in her and a madness in me

And together it forms a kind of sanity

(Oh baby don’t leave me)

We drove through the hills with the moon in our eyes

We bought a house in the country

Where we could lose our minds

The moon is a girl with tears in her eyes

Who is throwing her bags in the back of the car

(I am not even remotely surprised)

And waving goodbye, she is waving goodbye

The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes

 

Oh yeah

 

Everywhere you are I am

And everywhere you are I will hold your hand again

Only you are beautiful, only you are true

I don’t care what they are saying

They can scream their fucking faces blue again

I will be all alone when you are gone

All alone when you are gone

And I will not make a single sound

Not make a single sound

Not make a single sound

But come softly crashing down

Come softly crashing down

Come softly crashing down

My pieces scattered all around

Scattered around

Scattered around

Toppled on the shattered ground

On the shattered ground

 

And you’re waving goodbye

She is waving goodbye

The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Oh baby

Oh baby

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Oh baby

Goodbye
