Long Time Man (nick Cave Version)

Written by tim rose



Yeah, they came to take me away

Said i'd be sitting here for the rest of my life

But i don't really care - i shot my wife

And brother, i can't even remember the reason why





Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad

Well i ain't had no love since i don't know when

It sure makes a long time man feel bad





We was down in jacksonville

A cold winter night

My baby and i, we began to fight

I heated up, and i grabbed my gun

I get so cold on those nights down south





She was laying in a pool right there on the kitchen floor

She looked up at me and began to smile

Her gasping words: "baby, i love you"

Then she closed those baby blue eyes





(chorus, and variations)





Sometimes i hear you call my name in the dead of the night





I ain't had those arms around me

I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me





It sure makes a long time man feel bad

So bad
