Leonard Cohen - The Darkness Lyrics

I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness
Drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious
You said just drink it up

I said is this contagious
She said just drink it up
I got no future...
I know my days are few
The presence not the pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too

I shoulda seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes
You were young ant it was summer
I just had to take a dive

When i knew was easy
The 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
Drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious
You said just drink it up
