Distant Sky lyrics

[Verse 1: Nick Cave]

Let us go now, my one true love

Call the gasman, cut the power out

We can set out, we can set out for the distant skies

Watch the sun, watch it rising in your eyes

[Verse 2: Else Torp]

Let us go now, my darling companion

Set out for the distant skies

See the sun, see it rising

See it rising, rising in your eyes

[Verse 3: Nick Cave]

They told us our gods would outlive us

They told us our dreams would outlive us

They told us our gods would outlive us

But they lied

[Verse 4: Else Torp]

Let us go now, my only companion

Set out for the distant skies

Soon the children will be rising, will be rising

This is not for our eyes
