Till The End Of The World Lyrics & Chords By Nick Cave

It was a miracle I even got outta Longwood alive
This town full of men with big mouths and no guts
I mean, if you can just picture it
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass
And all the drunks pourin' outta the dance halls
Starin' up at the smoke and the flames
And the blind pencil seller wavin' his stick
Shoutin' for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road
And me, if you can believe this, at the wheel of the car
Closin my eyes and actually prayin'
Not to God above, but to you, sayin'

Help me, girl, help me, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

Some things we plan
We sit and we invent and we plot and cook up
Others are works of inspiration, of poetry
And it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs
To say my last goodbye
To her hair white as snow and her pale blue eyes
Sayin', "I gotta go, I gotta go
The bomb and the bread basket are ready to blow"
In this town of men with big mouths and no guts
The pencil seller's dog, spooked by the explosion
And leapin' under my wheels
As I careered outta Longwood on my way to you
Waitin in your dress, in your dress of blue, I said

Thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

And with the horses prancin' through the fields
With my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield
I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you
Waitin' for me in your dress of blue

Thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

I said thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

I said thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

I said thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

Thank you, girl, thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls
