Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Nobody's Baby Now lyrics

I've searched the holy books I tried to unravel the mystery of jesus christ, the saviour I've read the poets and the an*lysts Searched through the books on human behaviour I travelled this world around For an answer that refused to be found I don't know why and i don't know how But she's nobody's baby now I loved her then and i guess i love her still Hers is the face i see when a certain mood moves in She lives in my blood and skin Her wild feral stare, her dark hair Her winter lips as cold as stone Yeah, i was her man But there are some things love won't allow I held her hand but i don't hold it now I don't know why and i don't know how But she's nobody's baby now This is her dress that i loved best With the blue quilted violets across the breast And these are my many letters Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand I was her cruel-hearted man And though i've tried to lay her ghost down She's moving through me, even now I don't know why and i don't know how But she's nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now Nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now
