Cohen Leonard - The Night Comes On слова песни
I went down to the placeWhere I knew she lay waitingUnder the marble and the snowI said, Mother I`m frightenedThe thunder and the lightningI`ll never come through this aloneShe said, I`ll be with youMy shawl wrapped around youMy hand on your head when you goAnd the night came onIt was very calmI wanted the night to go on and onBut she said, Go back to the WorldWe were fighting in EgyptWhen they signed this agreementThat nobody else had to dieThere was this terrible soundAnd my father went downWith a terrible wound in his sideHe said, Try to go onTake my books, take my gunRemember, my son, how they liedAnd the night comes onIt`s very calmI`d like to pretend that my father was wrongBut you don`t want to lie, not to the youngWe were locked in this kitchenI took to religionAnd I wondered how long she would stayI needed so muchTo have nothing to touchI`ve always been greedy that wayBut my son and my daughterClimbed out of the waterCrying, Papa, you promised to playAnd they lead me awayTo the great surpriseIt`s Papa, don`t peek, Papa, cover your eyesAnd they hide, they hide in the WorldNow I look for her alwaysI`m lost in this callingI`m tied to the threads of some prayerSaying, When will she summon meWhen will she come to meWhat must I do to prepareWhen she bends to my longingLike a willow, like a fountainShe stands in the luminous airAnd the night comes onAnd it`s very calmI lie in her arms and says, When I`m goneI`ll be yours, yours for a songNow the crickets are singingThe vesper bells ringingThe cat`s curled asleep in his chairI`ll go down to Bill`s BarI can make it that farAnd I`ll see if my friends are still thereYes, and here`s to the fewWho forgive what you doAnd the fewer who don`t even careAnd the night comes onIt`s very calmI want to cross over, I want to go homeBut she says, Go back, go back to the World
