A Time to Dance, a Time to Mourn

In memory of 9/11, some more lyrics from Nick Cave, this time, the first verse and chorus from "The Weeping Song":
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too

Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
