- NICK CAVE - Jennifer’s Veil Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- So you've come back for Jennifer
- You know, she hides her face behind a veil
- I'm warning you Frankie, leave on the next train
- Your Jennifer she just isn't the same
- Quit waving that thing about! Come back!
- Come back and give me a chance to explain
- Your baby will never cry again.
- So don't try to reach out
- And don't let the ship's flag down
- Point the figure-head at the storm
- And drive her hard upon
- Don't stop and don't stop
- And don't let the veil drop
- (Another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight
- Tight like Jennifer's veil).
- She drew the curtain on her face
- Ever since they came and burnt the old place down
- Why is she searching through the ashes?
- Why, only Jennifer knows that now.
- And the officer, without a word,
- Left all his junk and just moved out.
- So don't try to reach out
- And don't let the ship's flag down
- Point the figure-head at the glass
- Smash! Smash! into shards
- Don't stop and don't touch!
- And don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil
- Oh God! Frankie! Is that really you!
- Get back! Don't reach out!
- Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!
- Don't try to reach out
- And don't let the ship's flag down
- Down, down over her, like a shroud
- And let her sail on the sea like a stone.
- Don't touch and don't touch
- And don't let the veil drop
- Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
