Suffer Never
Neil Finn/Tim Finn
Has she fallen from the sky
So heavy of heart
The sigh was on her tongue
The grief was in her arms
She will suffer never
I mean her no harm
She’ll come slowly rising
On the air
Lift her weightless
On the air, on the air
And the silence was enough
To shed my guilt
She will always know my wishes
‘Cause I remember how it felt
Kisses slowly rising
On the air
Lift her weightless
On the air, on the air
She will suffer never
I mean her no harm

“I wrote that in Auckland with Tim. It’s a love song about not wishing ill of women, wishing them strength and comfort and recognising they are the great earth mother. But that’s over-explaining things.
When we put that down it was late one night and we’d had a few and it was the first take. Which is not to say I’m encouraging anybody to over-indulge to create music, but that was one occasion where it did work.”
