I can seriously relate to these lyrics. Lost love can be so complex, so many conflicting emotions… Even if you accept it had to end physically, the heart has its own reality. And dreams…how can we stop the recurring dreams of a loved one?
You wish he would regress several decades in his artistic development to make songs much like he did in his younger years? Strange wish, considering his recent albums are way above above anything that has come before. It mystifies me how anyone can hear Skeleton Tree or Ghosteen, and then want Nick to go backwards from there. Carnage is also exceptional but you will probably hate it. Your loss, I'm just sick and tired of hearing these sentiments.
un CAPOLAVORO.....uno dei più grandi pezzi di sempre.....non dovrebbe finire MAI.....infinita bellezza e struggente profonda malinconia...sublime!! Grazie Nick. EnzoItaly
I thought I'd heard the best from this wonderful artist. But this understated perfection of a song,, the despondent pain of it, just exquisite. Thank you Mr. Cave.
amazing lyrics! Mr. Cave you give me sometimes just that sadness I try to hide because I want to be strong. But it's not necessary to be strong, thank you
I wish you happy christmas I do dear, I do I wish for you the stars, babe I wish for you the moon You can sit, and you can drink your champagne With your gibbering goon I hope he's being good to you I do dear, I do May no ill wind blow your way Wish that you will keep safe Up there in your tower babe With your ivory and ape Things down here are fragmented In fact they've exploded all over the room I think everything's a little off-center, babe I do dear, I do You said, that to love me you must set me free Now, that may all be very well Still I miss you baby More than words can ever tell Sometimes I can not sleep The greatness of my hate for you Sometimes I can not sleep For I miss you May your day be as bright as the eyes Of the girl that I once knew May your sun be happy yellow, babe And your sky be baby blue I miss your manic scratches And your howling at the moon Ten steps behind me With your dustpan and broom I hope you wish for me All the things I wish for you Health, hope and happiness The sun and the moon Say hello to the one Who really don't have a clue I'll be calling you soon I think I love you I do dear, I do.
I've mucked around with it on piano. :-) It's too bad it cuts off at the end - there's a rumour going around that somebody somewhere has heard an extra few minutes. Lucky them.
I found this song trying to find if Nick Cave did a Christmas song and this popped up.... I remember smoking American Spirits Perique cigarettes at Starbucks listening to this on my mp3 player during Xmas time cuz at the time I didn't have a smartphone yet.... A very good song, probably the sister song to "Little Empty Boat"....
@sofarfromme I've searched in youtube for any video about "sweetheart come"..It's a shame! I think this is a great masterpiece...

Te deseo feliz navidad realmente, querida, realmente. Deseo para vos las estrellas Y deseo para vos la luna Sentáte a brindar con champaña y tu chalina brillante Espero que te estén tratando bien, Realmente, querida, realmente. Que ningún mal viento te lleve Deseo que te mantengas segura ahí arriba, en tu camita, nena, con tu marfil y tus monitos. Las cosas por acá están fragmentadas, francamente, estallaron por toda la habitación Creo que todo está un poco fuera de foco realmente, querida, realmente Dijiste que para amarme, debías liberarme, ah, eso puede estar muy bien pero todavía te extraño, nena más de lo que te puedo contar. Algunas veces no puedo dormir tal es el odio que te tengo Otras no puedo dormir tanto es lo que te extraño Espero que tu día sea tan brillante como los ojos de la chica que alguna vez conocí que tu sol sea amarillo alegre Y tu cielo celeste bebé Extraño tus arañazos maníacos, tu aullido a la luna, tus diez pasos detrás de mí con la palita y la escoba Espero que desees para mí las mismas cosas que deseo para vos: Salud, esperanza y felicidad, el sol y la luna. Mandale saludos a la que no tiene ni idea Pronto te llamo. Creo que te amo Realmente, querida, realmente
Ha - you're right. It is "I wish that you will keep safe". Thanks. :D Anyway, just Google "Boatman's Call Out-takes" and you'll probably come across a bunch of new songs. Off the top of my head, the Garden Duet is another one.
A lot of good stuff isn't on B-sides and rarities (e.g. Still Your Face Comes Shining Through, which at least made it into "The Incomplete Lyrics 1978-2007", even if the middle eight duet lines were cut). There's a lot of missing stuff--he recycles the lyrics in newer songs, which I suppose he considers to be better songs than the ones he abandons, such as I Do, Dear, I Do.
Hello Red, Yes, it is written by Nick. It does not appear in his 'complete lyrics' book, but he has recycled some of the lyrics - for example, he used the line "up there in your lit
tter with your ivory and apes" in the song Still Your Face Comes Shining Through, and also "ten steps behind me with your dust pan and broom" appears in the song Little Empty Boat (where he substitutes 'ten' with 'seven'). Sorry for the double comment - I was cut-off halfway through.
Burda biri var əzizini itirmiş. Hər kəsə dəyər verən birinin dəyərindən uzaq düşmüş, Hətta istiqamət tapmaqda zorlanmış, Bəzən ağlamış, bəzənsə öz getdiyi yol izindən uzaq düşmüş. Amma bildiyi həqiqətdən dönməməkçün dinləmiş, Və hər dinləyişində onun ürəyi ona o sözləri yollamış, Sevmə desəm sev. Dinləmə desəm dinlə. Uzaq ol desəm yaxınlaş. Və bir gün. Dəyərlərin həqiqi sahibini tapacaq)
All right - UA-cam won't let me post the links to the Nick Cave Collector's Hell site (just Google it for more info on all the songs). Anyway, he performed Still Your Face with Kylie Minogue at the London Jazz Cafe, and there's a live recording of that event in the Wonderful World of Nick Cave bootleg. It's more of an unfinished song, and bits of lyrics have been recycled in There She Goes, My Beautiful World.
Thank you for the information! I wouldn't have observed these details as far as the lyrics are concerned :) Well, let me ask you now, is the song "Still Your Face Comes Shining Through" contained in a specific album or it's an out-take as well? Haven't seen this song title again ...
I can seriously relate to these lyrics. Lost love can be so complex, so many conflicting emotions… Even if you accept it had to end physically, the heart has its own reality. And dreams…how can we stop the recurring dreams of a loved one?
Best Christmas song of all time
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon
Another Lonely Christmas - Prince
ovaj covek je propatio jedno deset zivota...
Man... this one really tugs at those heart strings, don’t it? Been there.
This song just stabbed you in the heart.
Bir boşvermişlik,hiçbir şey yapmama isteği tam olarak bu şarkı özetliyor...
this song should have been on the boatman's call - just lovely
The lyrics and Nick’s voice not surprisingly brilliant. Instrumentals I die for. And I wish new songs would have that sound and feel
You wish he would regress several decades in his artistic development to make songs much like he did in his younger years?

one of my favorite nick cave songs. should've been on the album.
un CAPOLAVORO.....uno dei più grandi pezzi di sempre.....non dovrebbe finire MAI.....infinita bellezza e struggente profonda malinconia...sublime!! Grazie Nick. EnzoItaly
The greatest musician of our time 🎶🎶🎶
I have no words...Thank you Nick...thanks for that you are.
I thought I'd heard the best from this wonderful artist. But this understated perfection of a song,, the despondent pain of it, just exquisite. Thank you Mr. Cave.
...SUBLIME.
It isn't on any album or collection..it is amazing. It makes me shiver.
After listening to Nick, almost every another piece of music seems to be (at least) nothing special, really. What a man!
amazing lyrics! Mr. Cave you give me sometimes just that sadness I try to hide because I want to be strong. But it's not necessary to be strong, thank you
I am totally in love with this song.....
One of my favorites of his songs...so glad to have found this.
2 words ,two names NICK CAVE...A GOD OF MUSIC.
Reggo sempre fino a metà, poi è sofferenza pura. Pura e meravigliosa
Meravigliosa creatura Nick Cave💜
Still amazing ❤
January 2024
Beautiful song. I searched all over to find this record and I finally found it! So amazing
Man, this song is so good. So touching and in general, AMAZING. I'd trade this for the entire mid section of The Boatman's Call.
You said, that to love me you must set me free
Now, that may all be very well
Still I miss you baby
More than words can ever tell
Some brilliant footage to accompany a desperately beautiful song.
the most beautiful song of Nick :-) adore and on repeat!!!
I agree. So deeply....
piano awakes his gentlest emotions, doesn't it ?
I won't mind to repeat this same song the whole weekend i have.
The pain hurts so much..
after all those years...still I misssssss you..... I'm a freak... and this song is perfect.... And yes, it is too personal...
Magnifica. Grazie Nick.
One of the most energetic guys you've ever come across!!
how to make me cry like a baby. 'need a drink.
Heartbreakingly beautiful!
A beautiful soul. A beautiful face. Just really beautiful love.
I wish you happy christmas
I do dear, I do
I wish for you the stars, babe
I wish for you the moon
You can sit, and you can drink your champagne
With your gibbering goon
I hope he's being good to you
I do dear, I do
May no ill wind blow your way
Wish that you will keep safe
Up there in your tower babe
With your ivory and ape
Things down here are fragmented
In fact they've exploded all over the room
I think everything's a little off-center, babe
I do dear, I do
You said, that to love me you must set me free
Now, that may all be very well
Still I miss you baby
More than words can ever tell
Sometimes I can not sleep
The greatness of my hate for you
Sometimes I can not sleep
For I miss you
May your day be as bright as the eyes
Of the girl that I once knew
May your sun be happy yellow, babe
And your sky be baby blue
I miss your manic scratches
And your howling at the moon
Ten steps behind me
With your dustpan and broom
I hope you wish for me
All the things I wish for you
Health, hope and happiness
The sun and the moon
Say hello to the one
Who really don't have a clue
I'll be calling you soon
I think I love you
I do dear, I do.
* a happy yellow
* manic scratchings
The most beautiful and simple song.
this song has no ending...cant you hear that
I've mucked around with it on piano. :-) It's too bad it cuts off at the end - there's a rumour going around that somebody somewhere has heard an extra few minutes. Lucky them.
I wish for you the stars babe..i do dear i do...love it so soft🎄❤❤❤❤
It is oll Nick
Great song, great clip!!!
Para o meu único amor, perdido num mar de outros amores... Feliz Natal...

@Merilka Thanks soooo much! The extended piano solo is beautiful.
@sofarfromme I've searched in youtube for any video about "sweetheart come"..It's a shame! I think this is a great masterpiece...
Te deseo feliz navidad
realmente, querida, realmente.
Deseo para vos las estrellas
Y deseo para vos la luna
Sentáte a brindar con champaña
y tu chalina brillante
Espero que te estén tratando bien,
Realmente, querida, realmente.
Que ningún mal viento te lleve
Deseo que te mantengas segura
ahí arriba, en tu camita, nena,
con tu marfil y tus monitos.
Las cosas por acá están fragmentadas, francamente,
estallaron por toda la habitación
Creo que todo está un poco fuera de foco
realmente, querida, realmente
Dijiste que para amarme, debías liberarme, ah,
eso puede estar muy bien
pero todavía te extraño, nena
más de lo que te puedo contar.
Algunas veces no puedo dormir
tal es el odio que te tengo
Otras no puedo dormir
tanto es lo que te extraño
Espero que tu día sea tan brillante como los ojos
de la chica que alguna vez conocí
que tu sol sea amarillo alegre
Y tu cielo celeste bebé
Extraño tus arañazos maníacos,
tu aullido a la luna,
tus diez pasos detrás de mí
con la palita y la escoba
Espero que desees para mí
las mismas cosas que deseo para vos:
Salud, esperanza y felicidad,
el sol y la luna.
Mandale saludos a la que no tiene ni idea
Pronto te llamo.
Creo que te amo
Realmente, querida, realmente
mil gràcies, és tan preciosa....
Gracias

Really THANKS sofarfromme. Your answers were more than enough :) And I didn't know Nick Cave Collector's Hell site.
This is the most beautiful song ever. Fuck Christmas

Right I have listened to this almost 20 times now and it is nigh on perfection. Is there anyway you can buy this song? Please someone help! lol.

It's more of an unfinished song, and bits of lyrics have been recycled in There She Goes, My Beautiful World.
if you're interested in, i've uploaded one more song that belongs to the boatman's call outtakes.
it's called "i've got another woman now'
:)
Sound like Bowie's "Slip away". Both are beautiful songs, but i like Nick's song more.
Ester it’s not because you are An emotional and deep soul that you are not strong.
merry Christmas to all my elder goths and baby bats 🖤
@cattotti The song is from The Boatman's Call Out-takes.
Wow, I never knew this song existed. I think you have a miss print on the lyrics though, it should be "I wish that you will keep safe" I think.
Thank you for the information! I wouldn't have observed these details as far as the lyrics are concerned :)
Well, let me ask you now, is the song "Still Your Face Comes Shining Through" contained in a specific album or it's an out-take as well?
Haven't seen this song title again ...
Why wasn't this on B-sides and rarities?
Google "Boatman's Call Outtakes", click on the first link you see, and you should be able to buy it there.
Thanks to Damien Echols for turning me onto Nick Cave.
Até hoje não está no spotify, que tristeza :(
A very sweet song.Thank you :)
By the way, is that written by Nick Cave?
I would be grateful if I knew )
💔
🙁😔💔
It seems so.
You're welcome.
This is brilliant, where did you find it? My head is in a bin at the moment, I have the film but the song is so wonderful.
Search for The Boatman's Call Out-takes.
☔
You're welcome. :-)
Possibly too personal?
Get in the queue. :-D
прелепа, сигурно једна од најтужнијих које сам слушао

I want 3:37 as a poster
