Nick Cave – I Do Dear, I Do. lyrics

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

Ain't no whirlwind below your wing
Wish that you will keep safe
Up there in your leather babe
With your ivory and [?]

Things down here are fragmatic
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 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.
