The Big Hurt Lyrics by Nick Cave and The Ba
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
And lighting that torch and watching it burn


Now it begins, day after day
This is my life ticking away
Waiting to hear footsteps that say:
Love will appear and this time will stay


Each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last
This time the big hurt will end


Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
So if you don't come back again
I wonder when, oh when will it end?
The big hurt (repeat)
Now it begins, now that you're gone   Needles and pins, twilight till dawn   Watching that clock till you return   And lighting that torch and watching it burn         Now it begins, day after day   This is my life ticking away   Waiting to hear footsteps that say:   Love will appear and this time will stay         Each time you go   I try to pretend   It's over at last   This time the big hurt will end         Now it begins, now that you're gone   Needles and pins, twilight till dawn   So if you don't come back again   I wonder when, oh when will it end?   The big hurt (repeat)
