The Darkness Lyrics


Leonard Cohen The Darkness


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.
