As I Sat Sadly By Her Side - Nick Cave[00:00:00]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:00:39]

At the window through the glass[00:00:43]

She stroked a kitten in her lap[00:00:48]

And we watched the world as it fell past[00:00:52]

Softly she spoke these words to me[00:00:58]

And with brand new eyes open wide[00:01:02]

We pressed our faces to the glass[00:01:07]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:01:11]

She said father mother sister brother[00:01:24]

Uncle aunt nephew niece[00:01:30]

Soldier sailor physician labourer[00:01:35]

Actor scientist mechanic priest[00:01:40]

Earth and moon and sun and stars[00:01:44]

Planets and comets with tails blazing[00:01:48]

All are there forever falling[00:01:54]

Falling lovely and amazing[00:01:58]

Then she smiled and turned to me[00:02:13]

And waited for me to reply[00:02:17]

Her hair was falling down her shoulders[00:02:22]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:02:26]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:02:41]

The kitten she did gently pass[00:02:45]

Over to me and again we pressed[00:02:50]

Our different faces to the glass[00:02:54]

That may be very well I said[00:02:59]

But watch the one falling in the street[00:03:02]

See him gesture to his neighbours[00:03:08]

See him trampled beneath their feet[00:03:13]

All outward motion connects to nothing[00:03:17]

For each is concerned with their immediate need[00:03:21]

Witness the man reaching up from the gutter[00:03:27]

See the other one stumbling on who can not see[00:03:30]

With trembling hand I turned toward her[00:03:46]

And pushed the hair out of her eyes[00:03:50]

The kitten jumped back to her lap[00:03:55]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:03:59]

Then she drew the curtains down[00:04:14]

And said when will you ever learn[00:04:17]

That what happens there beyond the glass[00:04:23]

Is simply none of your concern[00:04:27]

God has given you but one heart[00:04:32]

You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers[00:04:36]

And god don't care for your benevolence[00:04:41]

Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others[00:04:45]

Nor does he care for you to sit[00:04:51]

At windows in judgement of the world he created[00:04:54]

While sorrows pile up around you[00:05:00]

Ugly useless and over inflated[00:05:04]

At which she turned her head away[00:05:19]

Great tears leaping from her eyes[00:05:23]

I could not wipe the smile from my face[00:05:29]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:05:32]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:05:41]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:05:50]

As I sat sadly by her side[00:06:00]
