Cave Nick Lament Lyrics

Lament Lyrics

I've seen your fairground hair,

 your seaside eyes

 Your vampire tooth, your little truth

 Your tiny lies 

 

 I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize

 Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns

 Your midnight cries 

 

 So dry your eyes

 And turn your head away

 Now there's nothing more to say

 Now you're gone away 

 

 I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand

 Your monkey paw, your monkey claw

 And your monkey hand 

 

 I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire

 Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon

 And your jailhouse smile 

 

 So dry your eyes

 And turn your head away

 Now there's nothing more to say

 Now you're gone away 

 

 I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears

 Your shining prize, your tiny cries

 Your little fears

 I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes

 Your vampire tooth, your little truth

 And your tiny lies 

 

 So dry your eyes

 And turn your head away

 Now there's nothing more to say

 Now you're gone away

 (Repeat)
