[ti:By The Rivers Dark]
[ar:Leonard Cohen]
[00:07.41]By the rivers dark
[00:25.02]I wandered on
[00:27.70]I lived my life
[00:34.57]In Babylon
[00:37.38]And I did forget
[00:43.62]My holy song:
[00:45.61]And I had no strength
[00:52.66]In Babylon
[00:55.22]By the rivers dark
[01:01.59]Where I could not see
[01:03.77]Who was waiting there
[01:10.78]Who was hunting me
[01:13.46]And he cut my lip
[01:20.14]And he cut my heart
[01:22.32]So I could not drink
[01:32.20]From the river dark
[01:36.94]And he covered me
[01:38.50]And I saw within
[01:39.94]My lawless heart
[01:47.24]And my wedding ring
[01:50.48]I did not know
[01:56.47]And I could not see
[01:58.78]Who was waiting there
[02:05.58]Who was hunting me
[02:07.89]By the rivers dark
[02:14.88]I panicked on
[02:17.13]I belonged the last
[02:24.06]To Babylon
[02:26.24]Then he struck my heart
[02:33.59]With a deadly force
[02:35.40]And he said This heart
[02:42.20]It is not yours
[02:45.19]And he gave the wind
[02:51.37]My wedding ring:
[02:55.86]And he circled us
[03:00.50]With everything
[03:02.93]By the rivers dark
[03:11.86]In a wounded dawn
[03:14.17]I live my life
[03:21.03]In Babylon
[03:22.65]Though I take my song
[03:29.94]From a withered limb
[03:31.70]Both song and tree
[03:39.74]They sing for him
[03:42.05]Be the truth unsaid
[03:48.79]And the blessing gone
[03:50.54]If I forget
[03:58.22]My Babylon
[04:02.91]I did not know
[04:05.82]And I could not see
[04:08.62]Who was waiting there
[04:15.80]Who was hunting me
[04:18.24]By the rivers dark
[04:24.92]Where it all goes on:
[04:27.55]By the rivers dark
[04:34.23]In Babylon
