Nick Cave - I Do Dear I Do Lyrics

I wish you happy christmas

I do dear, I do

I wish for you the stars, babe

I wish for you the moon



You can sit, and you can drink your champagne

With your gibbering gum

I hope he's being good to you

I do dear, I do



Ain't no whirlwind below your wing

Wish that you will keep safe

Up there in your leather babe

With your ivory and (?)



Things down here are fragmatic

Fragmatic, exploding all over the room

I think everything's a little off-center, babe

I do dear, I do



You said, that to love me you must set me free

Now, that may all be very well

Still I miss you baby

More than words can ever tell



Sometimes I can not sleep

The greatness of my hate for you

Sometimes I can not sleep

For I miss you



Your Davey is bright as the eyes

The girl at the hive wants you

May your sun be happy yellow, babe

And your sky be baby blue



I miss your manic scratches

And your howling at the moon

Ten steps behind me

With your dustpan and bird



I hope you wish for me

All the things I wish for you

Health, hope and happiness

The sun and the moon



Say hello to the one

Who really don't have a clue

I'll be calling you soon

I think I love you



I do dear, I do.
