well of misery

• from her to eternity albümünden şahane nick cave and the bad seeds şarkısı:
  
  along crags and sunless cracks i go
  up rib of rock, donw spine of stone
  i dare not slumber where the night winds whistle
  lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle
  
  o the same god that abandon'd her
  has in turn abandon'd me
  and softenin' the turf with my tears
  i dug a well of misery
  
  and, in that well of misery
  hangs a bucket fulla sorrow
  it swings slow an' achin' like a bell
  its toll is dead and hollow
  
  down that well lies the long-lost dress
  of my lil floatin girl
  that muffles a tear that you let fall
  all down that well of misery
  
  put ya shoulder to the handle, if ya dare
  and hoist that bucket, hither
  lord, crank'n'hoist'n'hoist'n'crank
  till ya muscles waste'n'wither
  
  o the same god that abandon'd her
  has in turn abandon'd me
  deep in the desert of despair
  i wait at the well of misery
