Текст Judy Collins – Song Of Bernadette

This is a song that was written by two people
You know one probably terribly well
And that’s my, my mentor and my friend, Leonard Cohen
He wrote this with Jennifer Warnes

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul

No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo
I just want to hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

We’ve ran around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we’ve done

Tonight, tonight I just can’t rest
I’ve got this joy down here in my breast
To think that I did not forget
That song, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we’ve done and can’t undo

I just want to hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
