O Children - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The faint blaze of the candle of my life Slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain No sparks of hope inside No shooting stars on my sky On broken wings, no flying high! Another night, another demise Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice I'll let the wind blow out the light 'Cause it gets more painful every time I die! Out of strength to fight I cannot take another night I cannot take it no more Lust of light slips through my fingers Like blood on my arms Black candle wax has buried me Another night, another demise Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice I'll let the wind blow out the light 'Cause it gets more painful every time I die!

Paul Siebel Well come gather around me friends of mine, While I sing to you about a minstrel band Of children in their witches hats, Painting pictures with the pipes of pan How a young boy and his sister played some tunes Upon a whistle made of tin And led me through the flower gardens, Laughing at the postman's stubby chin And in my dizzy stupor, I was trying to forfeit all I'd known And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own But somewhere in the distance, You and I, we fought our monsters to a draw It was in those days of books and wine, With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw And out along the highways, We journeyed far to find that mystic smile Chasing down identities, My God we must have run a million miles So we can teach the children, Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bare They can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair So sing for us you children, Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and blues Think of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving you Think of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving you Cause you can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair

Some days when I'm dreaming, I think of how far I have come All my life's led to this, and now I see what I've become I always had doubted that I could ever be someone That mattered, that shattered all these glass ceilings up above All that I want is to see all the things that I could be Destiny's calling me We're children of the sky flying up so high Let me be that one to find the brightest sun We're children of the sky guided by the light Let me reach new heights to stars amongst the night We're children of the sky I cannot give up hope, though there are storms within my seas Won't turn back when I lack, sometimes it's hard just to believe I've wanted to save us from ourselves Just wanted to raise us, to save us from ourselves All that I want is to see all the things that we could be Destiny's calling me We're children of the sky flying up so high Let me be that one to find the brightest sun We're children of the sky guided by the light Let me reach new heights to stars amongst the night When we look back, what we will see We were a part of everything Up in the heavens, down in the seas We were a part of everything When we look back, what we will see We were a part of everything Up in the heavens, down in the seas We were a part of everything We're children of the sky (Children of the sky) Flying up so high (Stars amongst the night) Children of the sky (Children of the sky) Take me to new heights (Children of the sky) We're children of the

A flock of birds Hovering above Just a flock of birds That's how you think of love And I always Look up to the sky Pray before the dawn 'Cause they fly always Sometimes, they arrive Sometimes, they are gone They fly on A flock of birds Hovering above Into smoke I'm turned and rise Following 'em up Still, I always Look up to the sky Pray before the dawn 'Cause they fly always One minute, they arrive Next, you know they're gone They fly on Fly on Oh, so fly on, ride through Maybe, one day, I'll fly next to you Fly on, ride through Maybe, one day, I can fly with you Fly on Fly on Fly on Don't ever let go Don't ever let go Don't ever let go Don't ever let go

O me quieres o me dejas O te tengo que olvidar Para estar así contigo Yo prefiero terminar Que te quiero tú lo sabes Pero el juego no me va Ni seguir con tus caprichos Y tu forma de pensar Dime de verdad qué has sentido conmigo Si he sido tu amante o he sido tu amigo Quiero convencerme de que algo ha quedado De todo lo bueno que siempre te he dado Dime si mentías cuando me abrazabas Y al darme tu cuerpo después me engañabas Pues con tus caprichos me muero de celos Ya no me interesas con tus devaneos Unas veces me arrepiento Y otras me dejo llevar De tus vagos sentimientos Y tu forma de pensar Yo que soy un pobre tonto Y que siempre te creí Ni me tomas ni me dejas Y no puedo ser feliz Quisiera saber que ha pasado conmigo Que intento olvidarte y no lo consigo No sé si es deseo, pasión, o locura Tantas cosas juntas, tantas amarguras Pero te aseguro que ha llegado el día En que me abandonas o eres sólo mía Estoy decidido, se acabó tu juego Ya no me interesas con tus devaneos
