That Don't Make It Junk Lyrics - Ten New Songs - Leonard Cohen

I fought against the bottle, 

But I had to do it drunk 

Took my diamond to the pawnshop 

But that don't make it junk. 

I know that I'm forgiven, 

But I don't know how I know 

I don't trust my inner feelings 

Inner feelings come and go. 

How come you called me here tonight? 

How come you bother 

With my heart at all? 

You raise me up in grace, 

Then you put me in a place, 

Where I must fall. 

Too late to fix another drink 

The lights are going out 

I'll listen to the darkness sing 

I know what that's about. 

I tried to love you my way, 

But I couldn't make it hold. 

So I closed the Book of Longing 

And I do what I am told. 

How come you called me here tonight? 

How come you bother with my heart at all? 

You raise me up in grace, 

Then you put me in a place, 

Where I must fall. 

I fought against the bottle, 

But I had to do it drunk 

Took my diamond to the pawnshop 

But that don't make it junk.
