[00:00.00] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:01.00] 作词 : Leonard Cohen
[00:10.90] I went down to the place
[00:13.46] Where I knew she lay waiting
[00:16.14] Under the marble and the snow
[00:20.62] I said, Mother I'm frightened
[00:23.50] The thunder and the lightning
[00:26.00] I'll never come through this alone
[00:30.43] She said, I'll be with you
[00:33.06] My shawl wrapped around you
[00:35.53] My hand on your head when you go
[00:40.39] And the night came on
[00:42.91] It was very calm
[00:45.52] I wanted the night to go on and on
[00:50.11] But she said, Go back to the World
[01:00.16] We were fighting in Egypt
[01:02.27] When they signed this agreement
[01:04.94] That nobody else had to die
[01:09.24] There was this terrible sound
[01:12.37] And my father went down
[01:14.69] With a terrible wound in his side
[01:19.12] He said, Try to go on
[01:21.85] Take my books, take my gun
[01:24.36] Remember, my son, how they lied
[01:29.29] And the night comes on
[01:31.86] It's very calm
[01:34.19] I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
[01:39.07] But you don't want to lie, not to the young
[01:48.87] We were locked in this kitchen
[01:51.38] I took to religion
[01:53.85] And I wondered how long she would stay
[01:58.50] I needed so much
[02:01.01] To have nothing to touch
[02:03.53] I've always been greedy that way
[02:08.16] But my son and my daughter
[02:10.94] Climbed out of the water
[02:13.31] Crying, Papa, you promised to play
[02:17.81] And they lead me away
[02:20.59] To the great surprise
[02:23.16] It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
[02:27.88] And they hide, they hide in the World
[02:37.87] Now I look for her always
[02:40.39] I'm lost in this calling
[02:42.72] I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
[02:47.42] Saying, When will she summon me
[02:50.03] When will she come to me
[02:52.76] What must I do to prepare
[02:56.89] When she bends to my longing
[02:59.87] Like a willow, like a fountain
[03:02.38] She stands in the luminous air
[03:06.97] And the night comes on
[03:09.57] And it's very calm
[03:12.24] I lie in her arms and says, when I'm gone
[03:16.68] I'll be yours, yours for a song
[03:26.78] Now the crickets are singing
[03:29.36] The vesper bells ringing
[03:31.79] The cat's curled asleep in his chair
[03:36.33] I'll go down to Bill's Bar
[03:39.00] I can make it that far
[03:41.33] And I'll see if my friends are still there
[03:45.82] Yes, and here's to the few
[03:48.77] Who forgive what you do
[03:51.03] And the fewer who don't even care
[03:56.02] And the night comes on
[03:58.54] It's very calm
[04:00.91] I want to cross over, I want to go home
[04:05.70] But she says, Go back, go back to the world
