By the Rivers Dark - Leonard Cohen

By the Rivers Dark LRC歌词

[00:24.200]By the rivers dark

[00:26.900]I wandered on.

[00:32.570]I lived my life

[00:36.700]in Babylon.

[00:38.150]

[00:41.910]And I did forget

[00:43.910]My holy song:

[00:50.850]And I had no strength

[00:54.570]In Babylon.

[01:00.340]

[01:01.160]By the rivers dark

[01:02.510]Where I could not see

[01:09.250]Who was waiting there

[01:11.510]Who was hunting me.

[01:16.130]

[01:19.0]And he cut my lip

[01:20.500]And he cut my heart.

[01:27.310]So I could not drink

[01:30.870]From the river dark.

[01:33.189]

[01:36.689]And he covered me

[01:38.830]And I saw within,

[01:45.789]My lawless heart

[01:49.759]And my wedding ring,

[01:55.0]I did not know

[01:57.370]And I could not see

[02:04.500]Who was waiting there,

[02:06.590]Who was hunting me

[02:08.818]

[02:12.569]By the rivers dark

[02:16.990]I panicked on.

[02:17.638]

[02:21.738]I belonged the last

[02:25.248]To Babylon.

[02:27.900]

[02:31.148]Then he struck my heart

[02:33.138]With a deadly force,

[02:42.588]And he said This heart

[02:43.278]It is not yours

[02:45.278]

[02:48.398]And he gave the wind.

[02:53.618]My wedding ring:

[02:57.789]And he circled us

[03:01.728]With everything

[03:06.180]

[03:09.778]By the rivers dark

[03:12.589]In a wounded dawn

[03:19.398]I live my life

[03:22.978]In Babylon.

[03:25.890]

[03:28.278]Though I take my song

[03:30.289]From a withered limb,

[03:37.328]Both song and tree,

[03:40.798]They sing for him.

[03:43.390]

[03:46.358]Be the truth unsaid

[03:48.578]And the blessing gone,

[03:55.890]If I forget

[03:58.909]My Babylon.

[04:01.798]

[04:04.638]I did not know

[04:07.398]And I could not see

[04:13.688]Who was waiting there.

[04:16.228]Who was hunting me.

[04:19.480]

[04:23.219]By the rivers dark,

[04:25.688]Where it all goes on:

[04:32.128]By the rivers dark

[04:35.799]In Babylon.
