She Fell Away - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Once she lay open like a road

Carbed apart the madness that I stumbled from

But she fell away

She fell away

Shed me like a skin

She fell away

Left me holding everything

Once the road lay open like a girl

And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over

But she fell away

She fell away

I did not see the cracks form

As I knelt to pray

I did not see the crevice yawn, no Sometimes

At night I feel the end it is at hand

My pistol going crazy in my hand

For she fell away

O she fell away

Walked me th the brink

The fell away

I did not see her fall

To better days

Sometimes I wonder was she ever there at all

She fell away

She fell away

She fell away
