Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wide Lovely Eyes

Your dress size with your wide lovely strides
And all along the street lately the stories abound
They’ve dismantled the fun fair and they’ve shut down the rides
And they’ve hung the mermaids from the street lights by their hair

And with wide lovely eyes you wave at the sky
And me at the high window watching you ride
The waves of blue and the waves of love
You wave and say good-bye
