By The Rivers Dark by Leonard Cohen
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
