Lyrics: Nick Cave. Nocturama. Bring It On.

This garden that I built for you
That you sit in now and yearn
I will never leave it, dear
I could not bear to return

And find it all untended
With the trees all bended low
This garden is our home, dear
And I got nowhere else to go

So, bring it on, bring it on
Every little tear
Bring it on, every useless fear
Bring it on, all your shattered dreams
And I?ll scatter them into the sea
Into the sea

The geraniums on your window sill
The carnations, dear, and the daffodil
Well, they?re ordinary flowers
But they long for the light of your touch

And of your trembling will
Ah, you?re trembling still
I'm trembling too
To be perfectly honest, I don?t know
Quite what else to do

So, bring it on, bring it on
Every neglected dream
Bring it on, every little scheme

Bring it on, every little fear
And I?ll make them disappear

So, bring it on, bring it on
Every little thing
Bring it on, every tiny fear
Bring it on, every shattered dream
And I?ll scatter them into the sea

Bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on, now, come on
Bring it on

Come on, come on, now, come on
Bring it on
Every little fear
I'll make them disappear

Bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on

Every little fear
Bring it on
And tiny tear
And I'll make them disappear
