The Darkness Lyrics
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I said: Is this contagious?
You said: Just drink it up
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e68866-leonard_cohen~the_darkness_lyrics.html ]
I got no future
I know my days are few
The present's not that pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
I should've seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes.
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive.
Winin' you was easy, but darkness was the price.
I don't smoke no cigarette, I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had much loving yet
But that's always been your call.
Hey I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view.
I loved the early morning, I'd pretend that it was you.
But I caught the darkness baby
And I got it worse than you.
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I said: Is this contagious?
You said: Just drink it up
