The Night Comes On (New Recording)
作詞:Leonard Cohen
I went down to the place Where I knew, she lay waiting Under the marble and the snow
I said, 'Mother I'm frightened The thunder and the lightning I'll never come through this alone'
She said, ‽I'll be with you My shawl wrapped around you My hand on your head when you goâ€
And the night came on, it was very calm I wanted the night to go on and on But she said, ‽Go back, go back to the worldâ€
We were fighting in Egypt When they signed this agreement That nobody else had to die
There was this terrible sound And my father went down With a terrible wound in his side
He said, ‽Try to go on Take my books, take my gun And remember, my son, how they liedâ€
And the night comes on and it's very calm I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong But you don't want to lie, not to the young
We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion And wondered how long she would stay
I needed so much To have nothing to touch I've always been greedy that way

And they lead me away to the great surprise It's papa, don't peek, papa, cover your eyes And they hide, they hide in the World
Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
Saying, ‽When will she summon me? When will she come to me? What must I do to prepare?â€
Then she bends to my longing Like a willow, like a fountain She stands in the luminous air
And the night comes on and it's very calm I lie in her arms and says, ‽When I'm gone I'll be yours, yours for a songâ€
Now the crickets are singing The vesper bells ringing The cat's curled asleep in his chair
I'll go down to Bill's Bar I can make it that far And I'll see if my friends are still there
And yes, here's to the few Who forgive what you do And the fewer who don't even care
And the night comes on and it's very calm I want to cross over, I want to go home And she says, ‽Go back, go back to the worldâ€
