Leonard Cohen’s “Darkness”
Sang by Rafi Ginat, in “Rafi Salutes Leonard”
Darkness
I caught the darkness
It was drinkin’ from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinkin’ from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up
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 have seen it comin’
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 lovin’ 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 mornin’,
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 drinkin’ from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinkin’ from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up
