Night Comes On (Leonard Cohen)
[3/4 time]
D G D / D G D /
I went dDown to the plGace where I knDew she lay waiting
Under the mGarble and the snAow
I said MDother I'm frGightened the thDunder and the lightning
I'll never come thrGough this alAone
She sGaid I'll be wCith you my shGawl wrapped aroCund you
My hGand on your hCead when you gGo
And the nDight came on it was vAmery calm, I wFanted the night to go Con and on
G D G D /
But she said go back, go back to the world
We were fDighting in GEgypt when they sDigned this agreement
That nobody eGlse had to dAie
There was this tDerrible soGund and my fDather went down
With a terrible woGund in his sAide
He said tGry to go Con take my boGoks take my gCun
RemGember my sCon how they lGied
And the nDight comes on it's vAmery calm
I'd lFike to pretend that my fCather was wrong
G D G D /
But you don't want to lie, not to the young
We were lDocked in this kGitchen I tDook to religion
And I wondered how lGong she would stAay
I nDeeded so mGuch to have nDothing to touch, I've always been grGeedy that wAay
But my sGon and my daCughter climbed oGut of the wCater
Crying PGapa you prComised to plGay
And they lDead me away to the grAmeat surprise
It's PFapa don't peek, Papa cCover your eyes
G D G D /
And they hide, they hide in the world
Now I lDook for her Galways I'm lDost in this calling
I'm tied to the thrGeads of some prAayer
Saying whDen will she sGummon me whDen will she come to me
What must I dGo to prepAare
When she bGends to my lConging like a wGillow like a foCuntain
She stGands in the lCuminous aGir
And the nDight comes on it's vAmery calm
I lFie in her arms, she sCays when I'm gone
G D G D /
I'll be yours, yours for a song
Now the crDickets are sGinging, the vDesper bells ringing
The cat's curled aslGeep in his chAair
I'll go dDown to Bill's BGar, I can mDake it that far
And I'll see if my friGends are still thAere
Yes and hGere's to the fCew who forgGive what you dCo
And the fGewer who dCon't even cGare
And the nDight comes on, it's vAmery calm
I wFant to cross over I wCant to go home
G D G D /
But she says go back, go back to the world
