Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - She Fell Away Lyrics

Once she lay open like a road
Carved apart the madness that I stumbled from
But she fell away
She fell away
Shed me like a skin
She fell away
Left me holding everything, oh oh

Seems impossible to me now
Seems impossible to me now
Seems impossible to me now
But once the road lay open like a girl
And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over
But she fell away
She fell away
I did not see the cracks form
As I knelt to pray
I did not see the crevice yawn, no no

No
Sometimes
At night I feel the end, it is at hand
My pistol going crazy in my hand
For she fell away
Oh, she fell away
Walked me to the brink
Then fell away
I did not see her fall
To better days
Sometimes I wonder was she ever really there at all
Away
Yeah, she fell away
She fell away
Oh, she fell away
Oh, she fell away
