Night Comes On - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

I went down to the place[00:00:09]

Where I knew she lay waiting[00:00:12]

Under the marble and the snow[00:00:15]

I said Mother I'm frightened[00:00:19]

The thunder and the lightning[00:00:22]

I'll never come through this alone[00:00:24]

She said I'll be with you[00:00:29]

My shawl wrapped around you[00:00:31]

My hand on your head when you go[00:00:34]

And the night came on[00:00:39]

It was very calm[00:00:41]

I wanted the night to go on and on[00:00:44]

But she said Go back[00:00:49]

Go back to the World[00:00:52]

We were fighting in Egypt[00:00:58]

When they signed this agreement[00:01:01]

That nobody else had to die[00:01:03]

There was this terrible sound[00:01:07]

And my father went down[00:01:11]

With a terrible wound in his side[00:01:13]

He said Try to go on[00:01:18]

Take my books take my gun[00:01:20]

Remember my son how they lied[00:01:23]

And the night comes on[00:01:28]

It's very calm[00:01:30]

I'd like to pretend[00:01:33]

That my father was wrong[00:01:35]

But you don't want to lie [00:01:38]

Not to the young[00:01:42]

We were locked in this kitchen[00:01:48]

I took to religion[00:01:50]

And I wondered[00:01:53]

How long she would stay[00:01:54]

I needed so much[00:01:57]

To have nothing to touch[00:01:59]

I've always been greedy that way[00:02:02]

But my son and my daughter[00:02:07]

Climbed out of the water[00:02:10]

Crying Papa you promised to play[00:02:12]

And they lead me away[00:02:17]

To the great surprise[00:02:19]

It's Papa don't peek Papa [00:02:22]

Cover your eyes[00:02:24]

And they hide they hide in the World[00:02:27]

Now I look for her always[00:02:37]

I'm lost in this calling[00:02:39]

I'm tied to the threads of some prayer[00:02:42]

Saying When will she summon me[00:02:46]

When will she come to me[00:02:49]

What must I do to prepare[00:02:52]

When she bends to my longing[00:02:56]

Like a willow like a fountain[00:02:59]

She stands in the luminous air[00:03:01]

And the night comes on[00:03:06]

And it's very calm[00:03:09]

I lie in her arms she says [00:03:11]

When I'm gone[00:03:14]

I'll be yours yours for a song[00:03:16]

Now the crickets are singing[00:03:26]

The vesper bells ringing[00:03:29]

The cat's curled asleep in his chair[00:03:31]

I'll go down to Bill's Bar[00:03:36]

I can make it that far[00:03:38]

And I'll see if my friends are still there[00:03:40]

Yes and here's to the few[00:03:45]

Who forgive what you do[00:03:48]

And the fewer who don't even care[00:03:50]

And the night comes on[00:03:55]

It's very calm[00:03:58]

I want to cross over [00:04:00]

I want to go home[00:04:03]

But she says Go back [00:04:05]

Go back to the World[00:04:09]
