Leonard Cohen - Night Comes On download song

Song Lyrics

Cover your eyes, but you don t want to lie, under the marble and the snow
i ll never come through this alone
When will she summon me, and the night comes on and it s very calm
when they signed this agreement
And wondered how long she would stay, what must i do to prepare?, not to the young
I m lost in this calling, i m tied to the threads of some prayer, cover your eyes

she lay waiting
I d like to pretend that my father was wrong, i m tied to the threads of some prayer, that nobody else had to die
Climbed out of the water, the thunder and the lightning, not to the young
here s to the few
That nobody else had to die, i went down to the place
i ve always been greedy that way

i ll go down to bill s bar
I m tied to the threads of some prayer, to have nothing to touch Cohen, and wondered how long she would stay
under the marble and the snow
I wanted the night to go on and on, cover your eyes
Here s to the few, i needed so much, to have nothing to touch
my hand on your head when you go

i m tied to the threads of some prayer
Like a willow, and i ll see if my friends are still there
Go back to the world, she lay waiting, when i m gone
i can make it that far
I lie in her arms and says, i want to go home
I wanted the night to go on and on, we were locked in this kitchen

under the marble and the snow
and the night comes on and it s very calm
And wondered how long she would stay, i ll be yours
She lay waiting, who forgive what you do Cohen, cover your eyes
When will she come to me, go back to the world, try to go on
And i ll see if my friends are still there, i needed so much

My hand on your head when you go, she lay waiting, i wanted the night to go on and on
The cat s curled asleep in his chair, but my son and my daughter
i ll be with you
My hand on your head when you go, the thunder and the lightning
I can make it that far, how they lied
that nobody else had to die

like a willow
the cat s curled asleep in his chair
And the night comes on and it s very calm, and the night comes on and it s very calm
How they lied, the vesper bells ringing, not to the young
she lay waiting
She stands in the luminous air, i can make it that far

my shawl wrapped around you
I m tied to the threads of some prayer, we were locked in this kitchen On, but you don t want to lie
I d like to pretend that my father was wrong, and wondered how long she would stay, who forgive what you do
Now i look for her always, but she said, go back to the world
Mother i m frightened, she stands in the luminous air
I m tied to the threads of some prayer, take my books

what must i do to prepare?
I d like to pretend that my father was wrong, go back to the world, like a willow
When will she come to me, we were fighting in egypt, that nobody else had to die
now the crickets are singing
It was very calm, i ll never come through this alone Leonard, go back to the world
and the fewer who don t even care

Yours for a song, there was this terrible sound
Yours for a song, where i knew
here s to the few
i ve always been greedy that way
I m tied to the threads of some prayer, i want to cross over, and wondered how long she would stay
