Leonard Cohen, co-written by Sharon Robinson.

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 this ol' heart at all?

You raise me up in grace,
Then you put me in a place,
Where I must fall.

Too late to make
another drink
All The lights
are going out

I'll just 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

I fought against
the bottle,
But I had to
do it drunk

Took my diamond
to the pawnshop
that don't make it junk.

that don't make it junk.

but that don't make it junk.
