The Big Hurt - Scott Walker

Now it begins

Now that you’re gone

Needles and pins

Twilight til dawn

Watching that clock

Til you return

Hiding 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 to stay.

Oh 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 til dawn

But if you don’t

Come back again

I wonder when

Oh when will it end

The big hurt.
