	Night Comes On
	Leonard Cohen
	The Essential Leonard Cohen
	I went down to the place
	Where I knew she lay waiting
	Under the marble and the snow
	I said, Mother I'm frightened
	The thunder and the lightning
	I'll never come through this alone
	She said, I'll be with you
	My shawl wrapped around you
	My hand on your head when you go
	And the night came on
	It was very calm
	I wanted the night to go on and on
	But she said, Go back to the World
	We were fighting in Egypt
	When they signed this agreement
	That nobody else had to die
	There was this terrible sound
	And my father went down
	With a terrible wound in his side
	Cohen Leonard
	He said, Try to go on
	Take my books, take my gun
	Remember, my son, how they lied
	And the night comes on
	It's very calm
	I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
	But you don't want to lie, not to the young
	We were locked in this kitchen
	I took to religion
	And I wondered how long she would stay
	I needed so much
	To have nothing to touch
	I've always been greedy that way
	But my son and my daughter
	Climbed out of the water
	Crying, Papa, you promised to play
	And they lead me away
	To the great surprise
	It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
	And they hide, they hide in the World
	Now I look for her always
	I'm lost to the collegue
	I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
	Saying, When will she summon me
	When will she come to me
	What must I do to prepare
	When she bends to my longing
	Like a willow, like a fountain
	She stands in the luminous air
	And the night comes on
	And it's very calm
	I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone
	I'll be yours, yours for a song
	Now the crickets are singing
	The vesper bells ringing
	The cat's curled asleep in his chair
	I'll go down to Bill's Bar
	I can make it that far
	And I'll see if my friends are still there
	Yes, and here's to the few
	Who forgive what you do
	And the fewer who don't even care
	And the night comes on
	It's very calm
	I want to cross over, I want to go home
	But she says, Go back, go back to the World
