《Night Comes On》歌词

[00:00:00] Night Comes On (黑夜降临) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:09] I went down to the place

[00:00:12] Where I knew she lay waiting

[00:00:15] Under the marble and the snow

[00:00:19] I said Mother I'm frightened

[00:00:22] The thunder and the lightning

[00:00:24] I'll never come through this alone

[00:00:29] She said I'll be with you

[00:00:31] My shawl wrapped around you

[00:00:34] My hand on your head when you go

[00:00:39] And the night came on

[00:00:41] It was very calm

[00:00:44] I wanted the night to go on and on

[00:00:49] But she said Go back

[00:00:52] Go back to the World

[00:00:58] We were fighting in Egypt

[00:01:01] When they signed this agreement

[00:01:03] That nobody else had to die

[00:01:07] There was this terrible sound

[00:01:11] And my father went down

[00:01:13] With a terrible wound in his side

[00:01:18] He said Try to go on

[00:01:20] Take my books take my gun

[00:01:23] Remember my son how they lied

[00:01:28] And the night comes on

[00:01:30] It's very calm

[00:01:33] I'd like to pretend

[00:01:35] That my father was wrong

[00:01:38] But you don't want to lie

[00:01:42] Not to the young

[00:01:48] We were locked in this kitchen

[00:01:50] I took to religion

[00:01:53] And I wondered

[00:01:54] How long she would stay

[00:01:57] I needed so much

[00:01:59] To have nothing to touch

[00:02:02] I've always been greedy that way

[00:02:07] But my son and my daughter

[00:02:10] Climbed out of the water

[00:02:12] Crying Papa you promised to play

[00:02:17] And they lead me away

[00:02:19] To the great surprise

[00:02:22] It's Papa don't peek Papa

[00:02:24] Cover your eyes

[00:02:27] And they hide they hide in the World

[00:02:37] Now I look for her always

[00:02:39] I'm lost in this calling

[00:02:42] I'm tied to the threads of some prayer

[00:02:46] Saying When will she summon me

[00:02:49] When will she come to me

[00:02:52] What must I do to prepare

[00:02:56] When she bends to my longing

[00:02:59] Like a willow like a fountain

[00:03:01] She stands in the luminous air

[00:03:06] And the night comes on

[00:03:09] And it's very calm

[00:03:11] I lie in her arms she says

[00:03:14] When I'm gone

[00:03:16] I'll be yours yours for a song

[00:03:26] Now the crickets are singing

[00:03:29] The vesper bells ringing

[00:03:31] The cat's curled asleep in his chair

[00:03:36] I'll go down to Bill's Bar

[00:03:38] I can make it that far

[00:03:40] And I'll see if my friends are still there

[00:03:45] Yes and here's to the few

[00:03:48] Who forgive what you do

[00:03:50] And the fewer who don't even care

[00:03:55] And the night comes on

[00:03:58] It's very calm

[00:04:00] I want to cross over

[00:04:03] I want to go home

[00:04:05] But she says Go back

[00:04:09] Go back to the World
