Lyrics Grief Came Riding (Single) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
A
grief
came
riding
On
the
wind
Up
the
sun
on
river
Thames
I
was
sittin'
on
the
bank
with
my
mouth
open
When
I
felt
it
entering
I
began
thinkin'
about
our
wedding
day
And
how
love
was
a
vow
I
was
thinkin'
about
the
chamber
door
Only
we
can
enter
now
I
began
thinkin'
about
our
ancient
friends
And
of
kissin'
them
goodbye
And
then
the
wind
blew
under
Battersea
bridge
And
a
tear
broke
from
my
eye
I
started
thinkin'
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
sittin'
here
Thinking
loud
Now
look
there
just
blow
the
water
See
the
saviour
of
the
human
race
Where
the
fishes
and
the
frogs
Has
found
his
final
resting
place
Blowin'
people
far
apart
Blowin'
others
so
they
collide
Blowin'
some
poor
bastard
right
out
of
the
water
Blowin'
another
one
over
the
side
Hear
the
ancient
iron
bridge
And
listen
to
it
groan
With
the
weight
of
a
thousand
people
Leavin'
or
returning
home
To
their
failures
To
their
bordoms
To
their
husbands
And
their
wife's
Who
are
carving
them
up
for
dinner
Before
they
even
arrive
Don't
be
afraid
Come
on
down
I'm
just
sittin'
here
And
thinkin'
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
sittin'
here
Thinkin'
of
love
