Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I Do, Dear, I Do
[Verse 1]
I wish you happy Christmas
I do, dear, I do
I wish for you the stars, babe
I wish for you the moon

[Verse 2]
You can sit, and you can drink your champagne
With your gibbering goon
I hope he's being good to you
I do, dear, I do

[Verse 3]
Ain't no ill wind blow your way
Wish that you will keep safe
Up there in your leather, babe
With your ivory and ape

[Verse 4]
Things down here are fragmented
In fact, they've exploded all over the room
I think everything's a little off-center, babe
I do, dear, I do

[Verse 5]
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 really tell
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I cannot sleep
The greatness of my hate for you
Sometimes I cannot sleep
For I miss you

[Verse 7]
May your day be bright as the eyes
Of the girl that I once knew
May your sun be happy yellow, babe
And your sky be baby blue

[Verse 8]
I miss your manic scratchings
And your howling at the moon
Ten steps behind me
With your dustpan and broom

[Verse 9]
I hope you wish for me
All the things I wish for you
Health, hope, and happiness
The sun and the moon

[Verse 10]
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
