`Sad Waters was written in Kreuzberg, Berlin in the mid-80s, but is a 'memory-song' set at the riverbank from my childhood in Wangaratta, Australia. It is part fiction, part fact, as most memory-songs are. There was a river, a willow tree and a girl—the rest is imagined. The first two lines —
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
are, of course, taken from Green, Green Grass of Home, the classic American ballad of a prisoner awaiting execution.
This art print is the very first attempt at the writing of Sad Waters.´
Nick Cave
