LEONARD COHEN - The Darkness lyrics

rate me

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.
