LEONARD COHEN lyrics : "Darkness"

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I got the darkness

From your little golden cup
I said is this contagious?
You said "Just drink it up"


I've got no future
I know my days are few

The present's not so pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me

But the darkness got that too

I should have seen it coming

It was right behind your eyes
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive

Winning you was easy
But the darkness was the prize


I don't smoke no cigarette
I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had no loving yet

But that's always been your call
And nothing but the darkness
Makes any sense to me at all


I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view

I love the early morning
I pretend that it was new
But I caught the darkness

And I got it worse than you

I caught the darkness

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?

You said "Just drink it up"
