Lyrics Leonard Cohen – The Darkness

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup

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
Another 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
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
