Blessed Is The Memory(Album Version) - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]
I remember the promise[00:00:06]
That you made in the barn[00:00:08]
When the kittens were born[00:00:11]
And you could not keep warm[00:00:14]
So you moved away the mountain[00:00:16]
That the sun rose behind[00:00:19]
And you said yourself a prayer[00:00:22]
And laid down with the blind[00:00:25]
But you lost them in your freedom[00:00:27]
And you need him now you're wild[00:00:30]
Blessed is the memory[00:00:33]
Of everybody's child[00:00:36]
And the vow of compassion[00:00:49]
That you swore through your teeth[00:00:52]
When the war began to end[00:00:55]
And the photographs weep[00:00:57]
Well nobody blames you[00:01:00]
As the train pulls away[00:01:03]
With its cargo of snow[00:01:06]
For these German paper-weights[00:01:08]
But you lost them in your freedom[00:01:11]
And you need him now you're wild[00:01:14]
Blessed is the memory[00:01:17]
Of everybody's child[00:01:20]
Well its five in the morning[00:01:33]
There's no one home[00:01:36]
Except for your wife[00:01:39]
And your child on the phone[00:01:41]
Somebody's got to listen[00:01:44]
To a promise or two[00:01:47]
Oh this room is far too small[00:01:49]
For a pilgrim like you[00:01:52]
But you lost them in your freedom[00:01:54]
And you need him now you're wild[00:01:57]
Blessed is the memory[00:02:00]
Of everybody's child[00:02:03]
So now that you've decided[00:02:16]
To follow the sun[00:02:18]
Like a shadow of birds[00:02:20]
Or a King on the run[00:02:23]
Oh your chains are too dark[00:02:26]
For the seas you must swim[00:02:29]
You're smiling at the seaweed[00:02:31]
But your smile is too grim[00:02:34]
But you lost them in your freedom[00:02:36]
And you need him now you're wild[00:02:39]
Blessed is the memory[00:02:42]
Of everybody's child[00:02:45]
Blessed is the memory[00:02:48]
Of everybody's child[00:02:50]
Blessed is the memory[00:02:53]
Of everybody's child[00:02:55]
