[ti:]By The Rivers Dark [ar:]Leonard Cohen [al:] [by:]cyl [00:02.94]By the rivers dark [00:06.50]Lonard Cohen [00:07.96] [00:08.64] [00:24.08]By the rivers dark [00:26.61]I wandered on. [00:33.17]I lived my life [00:37.03]in Babylon. [00:38.75] [00:42.51]And I did forget [00:44.51]My holy song: [00:51.45]And I had no strength [00:55.17]In Babylon. [01:00.94] [01:01.76]By the rivers dark [01:03.11]Where I could not see [01:09.85]Who was waiting there [01:12.11]Who was hunting me. [01:16.73] [01:19.06]And he cut my lip [01:21.10]And he cut my heart. [01:27.91]So I could not drink [01:31.47]From the river dark. [01:33.79] [01:37.29]And he covered me [01:39.43]And I saw within, [01:46.39]My lawless heart [01:50.36]And my wedding ring, [01:55.60]I did not know [01:57.97]And I could not see [02:04.65]Who was waiting there, [02:07.19]Who was hunting me [02:09.42] [02:13.77]By the rivers dark [02:17.03]I panicked on. [02:18.84] [02:22.94]I belonged the last [02:26.45]To Babylon. [02:28.21] [02:32.35]Then he struck my heart [02:34.34]With a deadly force, [02:43.79]And he said This heart [02:44.48]It is not yours [02:46.48] [02:49.60]And he gave the wind. [02:58.42]My wedding ring: [02:58.64]And he circled us [03:02.93]With everything [03:07.22] [03:10.98]By the rivers dark [03:13.62]In a wounded dawn [03:20.06]I live my life [03:24.18]In Babylon. [03:26.65] [03:29.48]Though I take my song [03:31.49]From a withered limb, [03:38.53]Both song and tree, [03:42.00]They sing for him. [03:44.24] [03:47.56]Be the truth unsaid [03:49.78]And the blessing gone, [03:56.65]If I forget [04:00.11]My Babylon. [04:03.00] [04:05.84]I did not know [04:08.06]And I could not see [04:14.89]Who was waiting there. [04:17.43]Who was hunting me. [04:20.25] [04:24.42]By the rivers dark, [04:26.89]Where it all goes on: [04:33.33]By the rivers dark [04:37.00]In Babylon.
