Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Wide Lovely Eyes

You wave at the sky with wide lovely eyes Waves and waves of love good-bye And through the garden with your secret key Down the tunnel that leads to the sea Step on the beach beneath the iron skies You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes Crystal waves and waves of love You wave and say good-bye Your dress size with your wide lovely strides And all along the street lately the stories abound They’ve dismantled the fun fair and they’ve shut down the rides And they’ve hung the mermaids from the street lights by their hair And with wide lovely eyes you wave at the sky And me at the high window watching you ride The waves of blue and the waves of love You wave and say good-bye The night expands, I am expanding I watch your hands like butterflies bending All among the myths and the legends we create And all the laughing stories we tell our friends Close the windows, clear up the myths It's gettin' late It’s darker and closer to the end Through the tunnel and down the sea And on the pebble beach, your laces you untie In a range of shoes, side by side You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes Distant waves and waves of distant love You wave and say good-bye
