Leonard Cohen - The Darkness Lyrics

Leonard Cohen - The Darkness Lyrics

i caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup
i caught the darkness drinking from your cup
i said is this contagious?
you said just drink it up.

i said is this contagious
she said just drink it up

i got no future,
i know my days are few
the presence not the pleasant
just a lot of things to do
i thought the past would last me
but the darkness got that too

i shoulda seen it coming
it was right behind your eyes
you were young ant it was summer
i just had to take a dive

when i knew was easy, the darkness was the price.
i don’t smoke no cigarette, i don’t drink no alcohol
i ain’t had much loving yet
but that’s always been your call
hey i don’t miss it baby

i got no taste for anything at all
i used to love the rainbow
and i used to love the view
another early morning, i’d pretend that it was you
but i caught the darkness baby
and i got it worse than you
i caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup
i caught the darkness drinking from your cup
i said is this contagious?
you said just drink it up.

Leonard Cohen - Show Me The Place Lyrics

Leonard Cohen - Show Me The Place Lyrics

show me the place, where you want your slave to go
show me the place, i’ve forgotten i don’t know
show me the place where my head is bend and low
show me the place, where you want your slave to go

show me the place, help me roll away the stone
show me the place, i can’t move this thing alone
show me the place where the word became a man
show me the place where the suffering began

the troubles came i saved what i could save
a shred of light, a particle away
but there were chains so i hastened to the hay
there were chains, a lot of chains
like a spade

show me the place, where you want your slave to go
show me the place, i’ve forgotten i don’t know
show me the place, where you want your slave to go

the troubles came i saved what i could save
a shred of light, a particle away
but there were chains so i hastened to the hay
there were chains so i loved you like a slave

show me the place
show me the place
show me the place

show me the place, help me roll away the stone
show me the place, i can’t move this thing alone
show me the place where the word became a man
show me the place where the suffering began
