Leonard Cohen - By The Rivers Dark Lyrics

Send "By The Rivers Dark" ringtone to your cell

By the river's dark i wandered on

I lived my life in babylon

And i did forget my holy song

And i had no strength in babylon

By the river's dark where i could not see

Who was waiting there who was hunting me?

And he cut my lip and he cut my heart

So i could not drink from the river dark

And he covered me and i saw within

My lawless heart and my wedding ring

I did not know and i could not see

Who was waiting there who was hunting me?

By the river's dark i panicked on

I belonged at last to babylon

Then he struck my heart with a deadly force

And he said "this heart it is not yours"

And he gave the wind my wedding ring

And he circled us with everything

By the river's dark in a wounded dawn

I live my life in babylon

Though i take my song from a withered limb

Both song and tree they sing for him

Be the truth unsaid and the blessing gone

If i forget my babylon

I did not know and i could not see

Who was waiting there who was hunting me?

By the river's dark where it all goes on

By the river's dark in babylon
