Lyrics The Witness Song - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Yeah,
yeah
Well,
well
I
took
a
walk
down
to
the
port
Where
strangers
meet
and
do
consort
All
blinkered
with
desire
And
a
winter
fog
moved
thickly
on
A
winter
fog
moved
thickly
on
A
winter
fog
moved
thickly
on
Now,
who
will
be
the
witness
When
the
fog's
too
thick
to
see
And
I
saw
a
friend
beside
a
wall
Her
hands
were
raised
in
supplication
And
her
face
I
could
not
see
at
all
And
I
raised
my
hands
in
rage
And
brought
them
down
again
And
we
entered
through
the
eastern
door
And
I
entered
through
the
eastern
door
And
she
entered
through
the
eastern
door
Now,
who
will
be
the
witness
When
you're
all
to
blind
to
see
O
yes,
yes,
yes
And
time
gets
somewhat
muddled
here
But
no
matter,
no
matter
Here
come
the
events
all
tumbling
down
Now,
beyond
the
wall
was
a
great
garden
Into
which
we
passed
Me
and
my
friend
And
the
place
was
all
overgrown
with
weeds
And
behold
from
its
centre
there
rose
a
great
fountain
The
fountain
with
the
healing
waters
And
we
knelt
down
by
the
rim
And
I
dipped
my
hand
in
And
she
dipped
her
hand
in
too
And
I
said
"Are
you
healed?"
And
she
said
"Well
are
you
healed?"
And
I
said
"Yes,
I'm
healed"
And
she
said
"Well,
yes
I'm
healed
then
too"
And
I
said
"Babe,
you
are
a
liar"
"Babe,
you
are
a
liar"
"Babe,
you
are
a
liar,
too"
Now,
who
will
be
the
witness
When
you're
all
to
healed
to
see
And
I
kissed
her
once,
I
kissed
her
twice
And
made
my
way
to
leave
her
And
she
raised
her
hand
up
to
her
face
And
brought
it
down
again
I
said
"That
gesture,
it
will
haunt
me"
"That
gesture
it
will
haunt
me"
And
I
left
there
by
the
eastern
door
She
left
there
by
the
western
door
Now,
who
will
be
the
witness
there
When
you're
blind
and
you
can't
see
Who
will
be
the
witness
there
When
you're
all
so
clean
and
you
cannot
see
Who
will
be
the
witness
there
When
your
friends
are
everywhere
Who
will
be
the
witness
there
And
your
enemies
have
ceased
to
care
