The Darkness Lyrics - Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen

I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup 

I caught the darkness drinking from your cup 

I said is this contagious? 

You said just drink it up. 

I got no future, 

I know my days are few 

The present's not that pleasant 

Just a lot of things to do 

I thought the past would last me 

But the darkness got that too 

I shoulda seen it coming 

It was right behind your eyes 

You were young and it was summer 

I just had to take a dive 

When I knew was easy, the darkness was the price. 

I don't smoke no cigarette, I don't drink no alcohol 

I ain't had much loving yet 

But that's always been your call 

Hey I don't miss it baby 

I got no taste for anything at all 

I used to love the rainbow 

And I used to love the view 

Another early morning, I'd pretend that it was you 

But I caught the darkness baby 

And I got it worse than you 

I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup 

I caught the darkness, drinking from your cup 

I said is this contagious? 

You said just drink it up
