[00:00.00]Night Comes On - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
[00:09.60]I went down to the place
[00:11.51]
[00:12.27]Where I knew she lay waiting
[00:13.95]
[00:15.05]Under the marble and the snow
[00:18.17]
[00:19.47]I said Mother I'm frightened
[00:21.34]
[00:22.22]The thunder and the lightning
[00:23.77]
[00:24.79]I'll never come through this alone
[00:27.41]
[00:29.22]She said I'll be with you
[00:31.88]My shawl wrapped around you
[00:34.46]My hand on your head when you go
[00:37.43]
[00:39.26]And the night came on
[00:40.59]
[00:41.78]It was very calm
[00:43.00]
[00:44.32]I wanted the night to go on and on
[00:48.15]
[00:49.00]But she said Go back
[00:50.97]
[00:52.70]Go back to the World
[00:54.63]
[00:58.85]We were fighting in Egypt
[01:01.22]When they signed this agreement
[01:03.08]
[01:03.86]That nobody else had to die
[01:07.14]
[01:07.78]There was this terrible sound
[01:10.55]
[01:11.10]And my father went down
[01:13.57]With a terrible wound in his side
[01:16.83]
[01:18.11]He said Try to go on
[01:20.77]Take my books take my gun
[01:22.86]
[01:23.45]Remember my son how they lied
[01:26.71]
[01:28.41]And the night comes on
[01:30.06]
[01:30.96]It's very calm
[01:32.05]
[01:33.28]I'd like to pretend
[01:34.70]
[01:35.35]That my father was wrong
[01:37.56]
[01:38.21]But you don't want to lie
[01:39.95]
[01:42.24]Not to the young
[01:43.98]
[01:48.03]We were locked in this kitchen
[01:49.96]
[01:50.52]I took to religion
[01:52.11]
[01:53.08]And I wondered
[01:54.05]How long she would stay
[01:56.24]
[01:57.75]I needed so much
[01:59.94]To have nothing to touch
[02:01.90]
[02:02.78]I've always been greedy that way
[02:05.88]
[02:07.57]But my son and my daughter
[02:10.33]Climbed out of the water
[02:12.57]Crying Papa you promised to play
[02:15.84]
[02:17.45]And they lead me away
[02:19.21]
[02:19.90]To the great surprise
[02:21.57]
[02:22.40]It's Papa don't peek Papa
[02:24.97]Cover your eyes
[02:26.24]
[02:27.29]And they hide they hide in the World
[02:33.21]
[02:37.14]Now I look for her always
[02:39.74]I'm lost in this calling
[02:41.54]
[02:42.14]I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
[02:45.34]
[02:46.88]Saying When will she summon me
[02:49.66]When will she come to me
[02:51.63]
[02:52.23]What must I do to prepare
[02:55.02]
[02:56.37]When she bends to my longing
[02:58.71]
[02:59.25]Like a willow like a fountain
[03:01.78]She stands in the luminous air
[03:05.03]
[03:06.50]And the night comes on
[03:08.14]
[03:09.10]And it's very calm
[03:10.48]
[03:11.45]I lie in her arms she says
[03:14.64]When I'm gone
[03:15.55]
[03:16.31]I'll be yours yours for a song
[03:22.26]
[03:26.37]Now the crickets are singing
[03:27.88]
[03:29.04]The vesper bells ringing
[03:30.28]
[03:31.40]The cat's curled asleep in his chair
[03:34.44]
[03:36.03]I'll go down to Bill's Bar
[03:38.15]
[03:38.67]I can make it that far
[03:40.11]
[03:40.99]And I'll see if my friends are still there
[03:44.23]
[03:45.54]Yes and here's to the few
[03:48.24]Who forgive what you do
[03:50.26]
[03:50.78]And the fewer who don't even care
[03:54.09]
[03:55.81]And the night comes on
[03:57.26]
[03:58.26]It's very calm
[03:59.38]
[04:00.71]I want to cross over
[04:02.48]
[04:03.17]I want to go home
[04:04.71]
[04:05.66]But she says Go back
[04:07.58]
[04:09.33]Go back to the World
