Song	Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree
Artist	Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Album	The Firstborn Is Dead

	作词 : Cave, Harvey
	O say goodbye to the little girl tree
	O you know that
	I must say goodbye
	To the little girl tree
	This wall
	I built around you
	Is made out of stone-lies
	O little girl the truth would be
	An axe in thee
	O father look to your daughter
	Brick of grief and stricken morter
	With this ring
	This silver hoop of wire
	I bind your maiden mainstem
	Just to keep you as a child
	O say goodbye to the little girl tree
	O you know that
	I must say goodbye
	To my little girl tree
	How fast your candy bones
	Reached out for me
	I must say goodbye to your brittle bones
	Crying out for me
	O you know that
	I must say goodbye
	O goodbye
	Even though you will betray me
	The very minute that
	I leave O say goodbye to the little girl tree
	O Lord you know that
	I must say goodbye
	To that little girl tree
	I rise up her girl-child lumps and slipping knots
	Into her laden boughs
	And amongst her roping limbs
	Like a swollen neck vein branching
	Into smaller lesser veins
	That must all just sing and say goodbye
	And let her blossom veils fly
	Her velvet gown
	Down down down
	Down down down
	Down down down and goodbye
	For you know that
	I must say goodbye
	To a rhythm softly tortured
	Of a motion back and forth
	Thats a rhythm sweetly tortured
	O that's the rhythm of the orchard
	And you know that
	I must say goodbye
	To that little girl tree
	O goodbye
	Yes goodbye
	For you know that
	I must die
	Down down down
	Down down down
	Down down down and goodbye
	For you know that
	I must die
	Yes you know that
	I must die
	O-o you know that
	I must die
