The Darkness lyrics - Leonard Cohen

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 got no future,
I know my days are few.
The presence 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’ve seen it coming
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 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.
