מילים לשיר Say Goodbye To The Little Girl Tree – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
O you know that I must say goodbye
To the little girl tree.
Is made out of stoneThis wall I built around you
O little girl the truth would be
An axe in thee.
O father look to your daughter
Brick of grief and stricken morter.
With this ring
This silver hoop of wire
I bind your maiden mainstream
Just to keep you as a child. O you know that I must say goodbye
O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
To my little girl tree.
How fast your candy bones
Reached out for me.
Crying out for me.
I must say goodbye to your brittle bones
O you know that I must say goodbye.
O goodbye.
Even though you will betray me
The very minute that I leave. O say goodbye to the little girl tree.
O Lord you know that I must say goodbye
Into her laden boughs
I rise up her girlTo that little girl tree.
And amongst her roping limbs
Like a swollen neck vein branching
That must all just sing and say goodbye
Into smaller lesser veins
And let her blossom veils fly.
Her velvet gown.
Down down down.
Down down down.
For you know that I must say goodbye.
Down down down and goodbye.
To a rhythm softly tortured Of a motion back and forth.
And you know that I must say goodbye
Thats a rhythm sweetly tortured
O thats the rhythm of the orchard.
Yes goodbye.
To that little girl tree.
O goodbye.
For you know that I must die.
Down down down.
Down down down.
Down down down and goodbye.
For you know that I must die.
Yes you know that I must die.
O-o you know that I must die.
