Until the End of the World movie - (I'll Love You) Till the End of the World lyrics

Song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds<br /><br>

It was a miracle I even got out of Longwood alive, <br>

this town full of men with big mouths and no guts; <br>

I mean if you can just picture it, <br>

the whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast <br>

and the street below showered in shards of broken glass, <br>

<br>

and all the drunks pouring out of the dance halls <br>

staring up at the smoke and the flames; <br>

and the blind pencil seller waving his stick <br>

shouting for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road; <br>

and me, if you can believe this, <br>

at the wheel of the of the car <br>

closing my eyes and actually praying; <br>

not to God above but to you, saying: <br>

<br>

Help me, girl; help me, girl <br>

I'll love you till the end of the world <br>

With your eyes black as coal <br>

and your long dark curls <br>

<br>

Some things we plan, <br>

we sit and we invent and we plot and cook up; <br>

others are works of inspiration, of poetry; <br>

and it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs <br>

to say my last goodbye <br>

to a hair as white as snow and of pale blue eyes <br>

[saying:]<br>

I gotta go; I gotta go, <br>

the bomb in the bread basket are ready to blow <br>

<br>

in this town of men with big mouths and no guts, <br>

the pencil seller's dog, spooked by the explosion, <br>

leaping under my wheels as I careered out of Longwood <br>

on my way to you waiting in your dress, <br>

in your dress of blue <br>

<br>

I said: <br>

Thank you, girl; thank you, girl <br>

I'll love you till the end of the world <br>

with your eyes black as coal <br>

and your long, dark curls <br>

<br>

and with the horses prancing through the fields, <br>

with my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield; <br>

I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you <br>

waiting for me <br>

in your dress of blue <br>

<br>

Thank you, girl. Thank you, girl <br>

I'll love you till the end of the world <br>

with your eyes black as coal <br>

and your long, dark curls<br>

<br>
