Grief Came Riding - Nick Cave & the bad seeds

A grief came riding

On the wind

Up the sun on river Thames

I was sitting on the bank with my mouth open

When I felt it entering

I began thinking about our wedding day

And how love was a vow

I was thinking about the chamber door

Only we can enter now

I began thinking about our ancient friends

And of kissing them goodbye

And then the wind blew under Battersea bridge
And a tear broke from my eye

I started thinking about London

And nothing good ever came from this town

And if the Thames weren't so filthy
I would jump in the river and drown
Don't be afraid

Come on down
I'm just sitting here
Thinking loud

A grief came riding

On the wind

Up the river where the bridges crouch

Blowing people back and fall
From the marital bed to the psychiatric couch

Blowing people far apart

Blowing others so they collide

Blowing some poor bastard right out of the water
Blowing another one over the side

Hear the ancient iron bridge

And listen to it groan

With the weight of a thousand people

Leaving or returning home

To their failures
To their bordoms
To their husbands
And their wifes

Who are carving them up for dinner

Before they even arrive
Don't be afraid

Come on down
I'm just sitting here
And thinking of love

And look they just blow the water

See the saviour of the human race

Where the fishes and the frogs
Has found his final resting place
Don't be afraid

Come on down
I'm just sitting here
Thinking of love
