Lyrics Sail Away - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I
climbed
the
hill,
lay
in
the
grass
A
little
dark-eyed
girl
drifted
past
She
said
all
the
best
is
come,
it
could
not
last
And
the
worst,
it
has
come
true
Her
hands
are
small
and
fluttered
up
I
lay
amongst
the
buttercups
I
pulled
on
my
coat
and
buttoned
it
up
For
the
worst,
it
had
come
true
Sail
away,
sail
away
To
a
place
where
your
troubles
can't
follow
Sail
away,
sail
away
Save
all
your
tears
for
tomorrow
Orphans
of
the
city
moved
toward
us
and
the
swallows
swooped
and
the
starlings
warned
us
And
the
peril
in
everything
It
assured
us
that
the
worst
had
come
true
And
all
my
sorrows
made
their
bed
beside
me
The
shame,
the
disgrace
and
the
brutality
And
she
whispered
then
"Let
laughter
flee."
For
the
worst,
it
has
come
true
Dry
your
tears,
forget
while
we're
here
Leave
all
your
sorrows
behind
you
Never
lose
heart,
all
things
will
pass
To
a
place
where
your
troubles
can't
find
you
She
came
beside
me
amongst
my
coat
Her
breath
was
warm
against
my
throat
We
clung
to
each
other
so
very
close
For
the
worst,
it
had
come
true
Sail
away,
sail
away
To
a
place
where
your
heart
will
not
shame
you
Take
my
hand
through
this
night
without
end
For
the
worst,
it
has
come
to
claim
you
Sail
away,
sail
away
To
a
place
where
no
one
can
betray
you
Take
my
hand
through
this
night
without
end
For
the
worst,
it
has
come
to
claim
you
