[00:00.00]Night Comes On （夜降临）（at Mönchengladbach Show ,2012）-Leonard Cohen （昂纳德·科恩）
[00:09.547]I went down to the place
[00:12.404]Where my mother lay waiting
[00:15.184]Under the marble and the snow
[00:19.302]I said mother I'm frightened
[00:22.52]The thunder and the lightning
[00:24.502]I'll never come through this alone
[00:29.131]She said I'll be with you
[00:31.360]My shawl wrapped around you
[00:33.629]My hand on your head when you go
[00:38.368]And the night comes on
[00:40.668]And it's very calm
[00:42.997]I wanted the night to go on and on
[00:47.576]But she said go back back to the world
[01:01.787]We were fighting in Egypt
[01:04.145]When they signed this agreement
[01:06.632]That nobody else had to die
[01:10.101]There was this terrible sound
[01:12.948]And my father went down
[01:15.317]With a terrible wound in his side
[01:19.575]He said try to go on
[01:21.854]Take my books take my gun
[01:24.543]Remember my son how they lied
[01:28.981]And the night comes on
[01:31.29]And it's very calm
[01:33.408]I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
[01:37.767]But you don't want to lie not to the young
[01:51.17]We were locked in this kitchen
[01:53.736]I took to religion
[01:55.875]And I wondered how long she would stay
[02:00.303]I needed so much
[02:02.222]To have nothing to touch
[02:04.801]I've always been greedy that way
[02:08.900]But my son and my daughter
[02:11.528]Climbed out of the water
[02:13.707]Crying Papa you promised to play
[02:17.936]And they lead me away
[02:20.165]To the great surprise
[02:22.182]It's Papa don't peek Papa cover your eyes
[02:26.319]And they hide hide in the world
[02:39.503]Now I look for her always
[02:41.802]I'm lost in this calling
[02:43.950]I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
[02:47.988]Saying when will she summon me
[02:50.577]When will she come to me
[02:52.986]What must I do to prepare
[02:56.745]When she bends to my longing
[02:59.223]Like a willow like a fountain
[03:01.461]She stands in the luminous air
[03:05.479]And the night comes on
[03:07.809]And it's very calm
[03:09.809]I lie in her arms she says when I'm gone
[03:13.778]I'll be yours yours for a song
[03:26.566]Now the crickets are singing
[03:29.575]The vesper bells ringing
[03:31.815]The cat's curled asleep in his chair
[03:35.644]I'll go down to Bill's Bar
[03:38.141]I can make it that far
[03:40.300]And I'll see if my friends are still there
[03:44.518]And here's to the few
[03:46.787]Who forgive what you do
[03:48.936]And the fewer who don't even care
[03:53.225]And the night comes on
[03:55.164]And it's very calm
[03:57.362]I want to cross over I want to go home
[04:01.279]But she says go back
[04:05.89]Back to the world
[04:57.448]I went down to the place
[04:59.647]Where my mother lay waiting
[05:02.446]Under the marble and the snow
[05:05.895]I said mother I'm frightened
[05:08.413]The thunder and the lightning
[05:10.470]I'll never come through this alone
[05:14.480]She said I'll be with you
[05:16.929]My shawl wrapped around you
[05:19.147]My hand on your head when you go
[05:23.515]And the night comes on
[05:25.592]It's very calm
[05:27.760]I want to cross over I want to go home
[05:31.777]But she says go back back to the world
