Skeleton Tree Lyrics
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Oh, nothing is for free
In the window, a candle
Well, maybe you can see
Fallen leaves thrown across the sky
A jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
Nothing is for free
I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
But the echo comes back in, dear
And nothing is for free
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Pressed against the sky
The jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
And I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
I called out, I called out
That nothing is for free
And it's alright now
And it's alright now
And it's alright now
Oh, nothing is for free
In the window, a candle
Well, maybe you can see
Fallen leaves thrown across the sky
A jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
Nothing is for free
I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
But the echo comes back in, dear
And nothing is for free
Pressed against the sky
The jittery TV
Glowing white like fire
And I called out, I called out
Right across the sea
I called out, I called out
That nothing is for free
And it's alright now
And it's alright now
And it's alright now

Incredible feeling of finality to this song. If Skeleton Tree was to be the last album Nick Cave made - as the final track on the album this feels like it would be the perfect way of signing off.
@GotMeNow Oh how you said it, oh how you said it! It broke my heart!

@GotMeNow it's hope not.. I feel like he's reaching into a new world with the last two albums.. can't wait to hear where he goes next.
