Wide Lovely Eyes (Live from KCRW) - Nick Cave/The Bad Seeds

You wave at the sky with wide lovely eyes

Waves and waves of love good-bye

And through the garden with your secret key

Down the tunnel that leads to the sea

Step on the beach beneath the iron skies

You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes

Crystal waves and waves of love

You wave and say good-bye

Your dress size with your wide lovely strides

And all along the street lately the stories abound

They've dismantled the fun fair

And they've shut down the rides

And they've hung the mermaids

From the street lights by their hair

And with wide lovely eyes you wave at the sky

And me at the high window watching you ride

The waves of blue and the waves of love

You wave and say good-bye

The night expands I am expanding

I watch your hands like butterflies bending

All among the myths and the legends we create

And all the laughing stories we tell our friends

Close the windows clear up the myths

It's gettin' late

It's darker and closer to the end

Through the tunnel and down the sea

And on the pebble beach your laces you untie

In a range of shoes side by side

You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes

Distant waves and waves of distant love

You wave and say good-bye
