Song Of Bernadette Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

There was a child named Bernadette 

I heard the story long ago 

She saw the Queen of Heaven once 

And kept the vision in her soul 

No one believed what she had seen 

No one believed what she heard 

But there were sorrows to be here 

And mercy, mercy in this world 

So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine 

Torn by what we've done and can't undo 

I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do 

We've been around, we fall, we fly 

We mostly fall, we mostly run 

And every now and then we try 

To mend the damage that we've done 

Tonight, tonight I just can't rest 

I've got this joy inside my breast 

To think that I did not forget that child 

That song of Bernadette 

So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine 

Torn by what we've done and can't undo 

I just want to hold you, won't let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do 

I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do
