Cassiel's Song - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Weve come to bring you home

Havent we, Cassiel?

To cast aside your loss and all of your sadness

And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness

For were here to pick you up and bring you home

Arent we, Cassiel?

Its a place where you did not belong

Where time itself was mad and far too strong

Where life leapt up laughing and hit you hear on and hurt you

Didnt it hurt you, Cassiel?

While time outran you and trouble flew toward you

And you were there to greet it Werent you, foolish Cassiel?

But here we are, weve come to call you home

And here youll stay, never more to stray

Where you can kick off your boots of clay

Cant you, Cassiel?

For death and you did recklessly collide

And time ran out of you, and you ran out of time

Didnt you, Cassiel?

And all the clocks in all the world

May this once just skip a beat in memory of you

But then again those damn clocks, they probably wont

Will they, Cassiel?

One moment you are there

Then strangely you are gone

But on behalf of us all here

Were glad to have you home

Arent we, dear Cassiel?
